(RTTNews) - Swiss retail sales increased at the quickest pace in four months in April, data from the Federal Statistical Office revealed on Monday.

Excluding service stations, total retail sales were 1.4 percent higher.

The upturn in April was driven by a 2.5 percent growth in sales of non-food products and a 0.3 percent rebound in sales of food, beverages, and tobacco products.

On a monthly basis, retail sales rose a seasonally adjusted 0.4 percent in April versus a 2.5 percent increase in the prior month.
