In the first seven months of 2026, retail trade turnover (excluding vehicles and motorcycles) decreased by 5.7% compared to the same period in 2025. This decline was attributed to drops in non-food sales, fuel sales, and food, beverage, and tobacco sales. In July 2026, the turnover also fell by 6.2% year-on-year, with significant decreases in fuel and non-food sales. However, compared to the previous month, July 2026 saw a 7.0% increase in turnover, driven by higher fuel and food sales.
