The year-on-year increase of sales in retail trade was influenced the most by an increase in retail sale via mail order houses or via Internet (+19.4%) and retail sale in non-specialised stores with food, beverages or tobacco predominating (+4.5%).

The price deflator (CZ-NACE 47) related to the corresponding period of the previous year (VAT excluded) was 101.6%. It was influenced mainly by higher prices of food and automotive fuel. On the contrary, prices decreased in retail sale of information and communication equipment in specialised stores and retail sale of other household equipment in specialised stores.

Data for June 2017 are preliminary. Final data for all months of 2017 will be published in June 2018.
*) The difference between the data non-adjusted for calendar effects and the data adjusted for calendar effects for sale of food (at the same number of working days in June 2017 and 2016) is caused mainly by a higher number of Fridays (which are important for the retail sale of food) and a lower number of Wednesdays (which belong to average days as for an amount of sales).
