In October 2012 the seasonally adjusted retail trade index decreased by 1.0% with respect to the previous month (-1.3% for food goods and -1.0% for non food goods). The average of the last three months compared to the previous three months decreased by 0.5%.

The unadjusted index decreased by 3.8% with respect to October 2011.
