Retail trade; turnover change, 2000 - 2012

This table presents information about developments in turnover in retail trade. Turnover can be broken down into value, price and volume. The data can further be divided by a number of branches of trade according to Statistics Netherlands' Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 2008 (SIC 2008).

The results are expressed in terms of indices with base year 2005. Changes on the same period in the previous year are also published. Value and/or price and volume data are lacking (temporarily) for some branches as the information is considered to be insufficiently reliable.

Data available from: 2000
