Sales of food, drinks and tobacco climbed 0.7 percent from May, while non-food product sales fell 0.3 percent. Automotive fuel sales advanced 0.6 percent in June.

Year-on-year, retail sales growth eased to 1.2 percent from 1.6 percent a month ago. This was also weaker than the expected 1.4 percent.
