Most of the industries had an increase in sales volume from June to July this year. Sales of clothing and footwear made a particular contribution to the growth. Retail sales of sports equipment and books also contributed to the growth in this period. Grocery stores and sales of food, beverages and tobacco in specialised stores and sales in petrol stations on the other hand had a decrease from June to July this year. Grocery stores contributed about 39 per cent of total turnover in retail sales.

Working-day adjusted figures show that retail sales rose by 0.5 per cent in the period May to July 2015 compared to the same three-month period in 2014.
