Fundamental view

Retail Sales in Sweden probably rose 4% in April compared to a year ago, according to the median estimate by experts.

The index provides data on the turnover of companies, whose main business is specialized in retailing. Since 1990 data excludes sales of motor vehicles, pharmaceuticals and beverages. Data is collected through a survey of enterprises. All businesses with a turnover of over 1 billion SEK, according to the register of VAT are included in the study. Those with turnover below 2 million SEK are not included. This is the percentage change compared to the corresponding month of the previous year.

Statistics Sweden is expected to publish an official report at 7:30 GMT. In case retail sales rose more than expected, this would boost demand for the Swedish krona.
