Warm weather boosted clothing sales, while non-store and online retailers extended their winning streak, marking eight straight months of growth. September alone saw a 0.5% increase in sales volumes after a 0.6% gain in August, supported by robust demand at computer, telecom, and online jewellery stores, particularly for gold. Despite this solid momentum, overall retail volumes remain 1.6% below pre-pandemic levels.
