Czech Republic retail sales growth strengthened in June 2026, with year-over-year activity rising 4.9%, up from a 3.0% increase recorded in May 2026. The latest figures, updated on 5 August 2026, indicate a notable acceleration in consumer spending as measured against the same period a year earlier.
The comparison is based on annual changes, with the “actual” figure reflecting June 2026 sales versus June 2025, while the “previous” measure captures May 2026 against May 2025. The jump from 3.0% to 4.9% suggests firmer consumer demand moving into the summer period, potentially signaling improving momentum in the Czech retail sector.
