Retail turnover on the Romanian market increased by 6.7 percent m-o-m in April, according to the National Statistics Institute. The strong performance was driven by a boost in sales of food, beverages and tobacco (9.5 percent), automotive fuel (5.3 percent) and non-food products (4.8 percent).
The April figures, which don’t include trade of motor vehicles and motorcycles, represent a y-o-y increase of 19.1 percent. In the first four months of 2016, retail turnover also increased by 19.1 percent, compared to the same period last year.
