According to the most recent figures published by Statistics Netherlands, retail turnover grew 2.6 percent in August 2007 relative to the same month last year.
Supermarkets in particular performed well. The increase in the volume of sales largely accounts for the good results. Price rises were moderate.
The results in the food sector were affected positively in August 2007 by the number of shopping days compared to the same month one year previously. After correction for shopping days, a distinct turnover growth by approximately 4 percent still remains.
Turnover in the non-food sector varied little in August relative to twelve months ago. Textile supermarkets and clothes shops faced turnover losses.
