The retail trade index measures the monthly evolution of the turnover at current prices of enterprises with retail sale outlets. With effect from January 2013 the indices are calculated with reference to the base year 2010 using the Ateco 2007 classification (Italian edition of Nace Rev. 2).

In February 2017 the seasonally adjusted retail trade index decreased by 0.3% compared with January 2017 (-1.1% for food goods and +0.1% for non-food goods). However, the 3 month on 3 month retail trade index showed an increase (+0.3%).

When compared with February 2016, the unadjusted value decreased by 1.0%. The year-on-year fall was seen across both large scale (-1.0%) and small scale distribution (-1.1%).
