Retail trade flash estimate: sales grew by 4.9 per cent year-on-year in November

According to Statistics Finland’s retail trade flash estimate, retail trade sales increased by 4.9 per cent in November 2012 from November 2011. Over the same time period, the volume of retail trade sales, from which the impact of prices has been eliminated, grew by 1.7 per cent.

The retail trade flash estimate is based on a sample covering, on the average, 50 per cent of retail trade turnover. Data on trade sales by industry will next be released on 14 January 2013.

Flash estimates on retail trade are published at a lag of just under one month from the end of the statistical reference month. The preliminary data on motor vehicle, wholesale and retail trade based on a larger sample will be published at a lag of roughly six weeks from the end of the statistical reference month and the revised data based on total data are published at a lag of roughly ten weeks.
