In November, retail sales grew 3.4% over the same month last year, up from October’s 2.9% expansion and matching the Bank’s initial estimate. November’s uptick was driven by faster growth in the food, beverages and tobacco, automotive fuels, and cultural and recreation goods subsectors.
According to the Bank of Indonesia’s survey, retail sales should have grown 7.7% in December.
