About Retail Sales (MoM) (UK)
The UK retail sales report is the primary indicator of consumer spending. Consumer spending makes up the majority of the economic activity in the UK. This data is released on a monthly basis, 20 days after the month ends. The source of the report is the UK Office for National Statistics.
Retail sales data represents the total volume of sales, adjusted according to inflation. It is measured as a change in the percentage of sales compared to the previous month. A positive retail sales number shows that the UK economy is in a good shape. It means that business revenue and tax revenue will improve in the near term.
