Retail Sales in Switzerland probably rose 2.3 in March, following a 1% increase in the previous month.

The index measures the change in the value of sales made by retailers in the country. The amount of sales includes indirect taxes, but without discounts. Revenue from wholesale and the provision of those services are not included. The study includes 850 different business activities. Dealers of vehicles are also included, with the exception of those selling motorcycles. This is the percentage change compared to the corresponding month of the previous year.
