Hungary’s calendar-adjusted retail sales rose by an annual 11.1% in May following a revised 15.7% increase in April, driven by higher spending on fuels and non-food items, the Central Statistics Office (KSH) said.

Food sales rose by 3% year-on-year, non-food sales rose by 9.5%, while fuel sales were 37.5% higher, it said.

Within non-food sales, textile, clothing and shoe sales rose by 35% from the same period a year earlier; books, computers and other goods sales were up by 9.5% year-on-year, while furniture and electronic goods sales rose by 1.1%.
