Sales in November up 0.4% in value, 0.2% in volume - ISTAT

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 10 - Retail sales were up by 0.4% in value and by 0. 2% in volume in November 2023 with respect to the previous month, ISTAT said on Wednesday.
    The increase was driven mainly by the performance of non-food items, the national statistics agency added.
    ISTAT said on an annual basis retail sales had also increased by 1.5% in value terms but decreased by 2.2% in volume terms over November 2022.
    In the trend scenario, the statistics agency added that Italians are continuing to pay more to get less as a result of the cost-of-living crisis, but that in November 2023 the drop in sales in volume terms year-on-year is more contained than in previous months. (ANSA).
