In September, turnover in retail trade increased by 2.2% compared with August 2022 (adjusted for seasonal and working day variations). The change was driven mainly by manufactured goods (up 3.4% compared with August), with sales of new cars (up 10.3%), consumer electronics (up 9%), furniture (up 8.8%) and textiles and clothing (up 4.6%) seeing the strongest growth. Food sales increased slightly (by 0.8%) in September.
