Turkey's retail trade growth eased sharply to 0.6 percent in December of 2020, following an upwardly revised 12.3 percent surge in the previous month. It was the weakest increase in retail activity since last May, as sales increased at a softer pace for food, beverages & tobacco (8.8 percent vs 11.5 percent in November). In addition, declines were seen in those of automotive fuel (-1.1 percent vs 9.2 percent) and non-food products (-3.3 percent vs 14 percent), especially textiles, clothing & footwear (-18.6 percent vs 4 percent). Meanwhile, sales by mail orders and internet continued to climb (73 percent vs 72 percent), driven by coronavirus-linked lockdown measures. On a monthly basis, retail sales fell 4.2 percent, the first decline since April, after a downwardly revised 2 percent increase in the previous month. source: Turkish Statistical Institute
