The volume of retail sales in Hungary increased by 3.5% according to raw data in April and, chiefly due to the Easter effect, by 2% adjusted for calendar effects, compared to the same month a year earlier, the Central Statistical Office (KSH) said in a first release of data this morning.

In the January-April period, the volume of sales — also according to calendar-adjusted data – was 3% higher than in the corresponding period of the previous year, the KSH added.
