Highlights of the December 2015 Eurozone retail sales data report 3 January 2016

  • Prior -0.3%
  • 1.4% vs 1.5% exp y/y. Prior 1.4%. Revised to 1.6%
  • EU 28 states 0.1% vs 0.3% prior m/m
  • 2.0% vs 2.7% prior y/y

No surprises here as European consumers remain thrifty.

I'm not sure why they bother running the report considering half of it hasn't been counted yet.
