ISTAT said Wednesday that retail sales
rose by 4.6% in value terms last year compared to 2021, but fell
by 0.8% in volume terms.
The figures give an indication of the impact of the
cost-of-living crisis, with Italian people paying more to get
less in 2022.
The national statistics agency said value retail sales were up
by 3.4% in December compared to the same month in 2022, but
volume sales fell by 4.4%.
It said sales decreased by 0.2% in value and 0.7% in volume in
month-on-month terms in December.
