Slovakia Retail Sales Rebound 0.9% In May

07/06/2026 - 06:59:00 (RTTNews)

(RTTNews) - Slovakia's retail sales increased in May after a slight decline in the previous month, figures from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic showed on Monday.

Retail sales rose 0.9 percent year-on-year in May, reversing a 0.2 percent drop in April.

The rebound was attributed to strong performance in specialized stores. However, the overall performance was negatively affected by lower turnover in e-shops and hypermarkets and supermarkets, the agency said.

Sales at hyper- and supermarkets contracted 3.0 percent annually in May, though slower than the 7.3 percent plunge in April. Sales in e-shops were 12.9 percent lower, while the annual sales growth at specialized stores eased to 6.2 percent from 7.0 percent.

On a monthly basis, retail sales edged up a seasonally adjusted 0.1 percent.
