Greek Macro
Greek Sep retail sales drop 8.7% y/y
Greece's retail sales by volume fell 8.7 percent year-on-year in September after a 4.5 percent
drop in August. Retail sales by revenues dropped 7.5 percent year-on-year in September
after a 3.1 percent drop the previous month. Tighter credit and rising unemployment as
Greece's economy slows sharply have hurt retail sales so far this year, in line with broader
euro region trends.
