The State Statistics Service of Ukraine published data on retail trade for the last month. The volume of merchandise turnover increased by 7.3% year-on-year and by 1.1% compared to the previous month.
The most dynamic increase was recorded in the segment of household appliances (+23%), which analysts attribute to the recovery of the housing stock and growing demand for generators and inverter equipment.
The food market grew by a more modest 4.2%, but here too the trend positive - the share of the premium segment increases.
