Retail Trade - January 2013
The highest growth of sale over the internet for the last 26 months
In January, sales in retail trade including the automotive segment after seasonal adjustment increased by 0.4% at constant prices, month-on-month, and working days adjusted dropped by 0.5%, y-o-y, the same as non-adjusted sales. The y-o-y drop of sales was influenced mainly by the development of sale in the automotive segment.
After seasonal adjustment sales in retail trade including sale and repair of motor vehicles increased in January by 0.4% at constant prices, m-o-m. Working days adjusted sales decreased by 0.5%, year-on-year; the same drop was recorded by non-adjusted sales. The year-on-year drop at the same number of working days in January 2012 and January 2013 was influenced by a lower sale in the automotive segment; on the contrary, growth in retail trade contributed to slackening of the decrease (see Table 2).
Seasonally adjusted sales for sale and repair of motor vehicles (CZ-NACE 45) stagnated at constant prices, m-o-m, and sales adjusted for working days as well as non-adjusted decreased by 3.5%, y-o-y. Non-adjusted sales for sale of motor vehicles (including spare parts) decreased by 4.1%, y-o-y, and for the repair of motor vehicles by 1.1%, y-o-y.
In retail sale including sale of automotive fuel (CZ-NACE 47) seasonally adjusted sales at constant prices increased by 0.4%, m-o-m, and sales adjusted for working days by 0.7%, y-o-y, the same as non-adjusted. Growth was reported for sale of non-food goods by 1.9% as well as food by 0.1%, while sale of automotive fuel dropped by 2.2%.
The most dynamic growth of sales was in retail sale via mail order houses or via Internet (+23.7%). The overall growth was also contributed to by higher sale of information and communication equipment (+4.6%), sale of dispensing chemist, medical and orthopaedic goods, cosmetic and toilet articles in specialised stores (+4.5%), and sale of clothing and footwear in specialised stores (+1.4%). Retail sale in non-specialised stores with food predominating, in which big chain stores have the biggest influence, increased by 0.3% (sales in enterprises with 100+ employees in that group increased by 0.7%). On the contrary, in specialised stores with food sales decreased by 2.5%; also cultural and recreation goods in specialised stores recorded lower interest of consumers (-2.7%) as well as retail sale of other household equipment in specialised stores (-1.2%).
The price deflator (CZ-NACE 47) related to the corresponding period of the previous year (VAT excluded) was 99.8%. In comparison to December 2012 it increased by 0.3 p.p. Y-o-y increase of prices was recorded for food and dispensing chemist, medical and orthopaedic goods, cosmetic and toilet articles, while in most of non-food goods decreasing of prices continued, which was the most marked in the assortment of information and communication equipment.

Attention:
Starting with the News Release for January 2013, the base for short-term statistics changed. Besides the change in the base period at fixed-base indices (that are newly compared to the average of 2010 instead of the average of 2005) also the weighting scheme of the year 2010 was used. In accordance with the methodology of Eurostat, a back-calculation to the year 2009 was made on the new weights, which entailed a revision of fixed-base and y-o-y indices. For more information see the Methodology.
Notes:
Data for January 2013 are preliminary; final data for all months of 2013 will be available in June 2014 at the latest.
