Endless rain washed away 5.5 per cent of footfall on the high street for June, against previous hopes that summer spending could boost the British economy. The latest figures from Springboard blamed the unprecedented levels of rainfall over the month, which is likely to continue into July and discount any of the progress made from the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations.

The latest figures from the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and Nielsen found shop price inflation rose to 1.5 per cent in May from 1.3 per cent in April, as retailers looked to protect their businesses from “margin-sapping discounts”. In line with industry expectations, the BRC said the growth in inflation reflects an increasing reluctance among non-food retailers to engage in aggressive discounts.

CBI finds retail sales fall at fastest rate since March 2009 Monday, 28th November 2011
A survey by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) on Monday found retail sales fell at their fastest pace in two and a half years in November. A perfect storm of dire food sales and mild weather meant demand for winter clothes and home comforts failed to reach anticipated levels. The CBI’s monthly distributive trades survey’s reported sales balance fell to minus 19 in November from minus 11 in October, the lowest rate since March 2009 and far below economists’ forecasts of a minus 13 reading.
