The Netherlands' retail sales growth rebounded in March largely on the back of higher demand for non-food items, according to data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics on Thursday.
Retail turnover adjusted for shopping days rose 3.4 percent annually in March, faster than the 2.2 percent increase in February. Sales have been rising since July 2024.
Sales of non-food products alone advanced 4.4 percent from last year, and turnover in the food sector increased by 1.5 percent.
