Fundamental view
The index measures the turnover in retail trade in Germany in the form of nominal or real (prices of charge) and their value changes. Statistics are prepared on the basis of a representative sample. Approximately 27 000 of about 378 000 business units in retail trade in Germany provide information on their turnover to the statistical offices. 700 other major companies in the retail industry provide information directly to the Federal Statistical Office. This is the percentage change from the previous month.
A higher-than-expected reading would heighten the appeal of the 18-nation common currency.
