2026.09.3006:17:51UTC+00German Retail Sales Rise Less than Expected

Germany’s retail sales rose by 1.2% month-on-month in August 2026, reversing a 3.4% decline in July and registering the fastest growth since June 2025. However, the result fell short of market expectations for a 1.5% increase. The rebound was partly driven by a recovery from July’s sharp pullback, which had been pressured by higher consumer and energy prices as well as the onset of the summer holiday season. On a year-on-year basis, retail sales fell by 0.4%, an improvement on July’s 2.5% drop but still below forecasts, which had pointed to a 0.1% rise.
