Retailers saw turnover increase again in August, boosted largely by bigger sales volumes, the national statistics office CBS said on Thursday.

Food sales were up 6.6% with supermarkets seeing their turnover rise 7.2%. Corrected for shop opening hours (some months have more trading hours than others), the increase was 4%, the CBS said.
Turnover in the non-food sector was flat, with turnover at clothes shops down slightly.
