UK Retail Sales Growth Accelerates to 1.0% in September
UK retail sales increased 1.0% year over year in September, according to the BRC Retail Sales Monitor, exceeding expectations for a 0.8% gain and improving from 0.5% growth in the previous month.
The stronger reading suggests consumer spending gained momentum during September despite continued pressure from elevated borrowing costs and broader cost-of-living concerns.
