Latest data released by Eurostat - 4 March 2020
- Prior -1.6%; revised to -1.1%
- Retail sales +1.7% vs +1.1% y/y expected
- Prior +1.3%; revised to +1.7%
Retail sales in the euro area rebound to start the year but as mentioned with the Germany report, the data is very much pre-virus so isn't one that matters all too much since the market is now only focused on post-virus economic conditions.
