🌧️ After a washout June, July saw a promising recovery in retail sales with a 1.4% increase in the volume of goods sold (excluding petrol) compared to last year. This translated into a 2.2% increase in sales value. ⚽ Sporting and audio-visual goods performed exceptionally well, and grocery sales bounced back. However, fashion retail struggled for the 11th month in a row. 📈 Despite mixed results, we remain optimistic for the coming months with better weather and a favorable economic backdrop. https://lnkd.in/eng-a_92
