FX.co ★ Estonia’s Retail Sales Slip 1.1% in May, Reversing April’s Growth

Estonian retail sales declined 1.10% year-over-year in May 2026, marking a reversal from the 1.60% annual increase recorded in April 2026. The latest data, updated on 30 June 2026, indicate that consumer activity weakened at the start of summer after a brief period of growth.

The figures compare each month’s performance with the same month a year earlier, showing that while April had managed to post positive momentum, May’s downturn signals renewed pressure on Estonia’s retail sector. The shift from growth to contraction may raise concerns about the resilience of consumer demand and the broader pace of economic activity in the country.
