TOKYO (MNI) – Japanese retail sales in November are likely to be
unchanged on-year, after showing +1.9% in October and -1.1% in
September, according to the median forecast by economists polled by
Market News International.
The Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry will release the data at
0850 JST on Wednesday, Dec. 28 (2350 GMT Tuesday).
The November retail sales are expected to have been weaker than
October, as relatively high temperatures dampened demand for winter
clothing, and sales of household electronics sharply declined.
