AUSTRALIA
AUSTRALIA: Per the ABS: "Australian retail turnover rose 2.4% in June 2020,
seasonally adjusted, according to preliminary retail trade figures. Turnover
rose 8.2% when compared to June 2019. Rises in June 2020 were led by cafes,
restaurants and takeaway food services, and clothing, footwear and personal
accessory retailing. While some restrictions on trade remained in June, many
businesses in these industries saw a full month of trade, having been closed for
the first week of May 2020. Turnover in these industries remained below the
levels of June 2019. Food retailing saw a minor rise of 0.9%, with a rise in
supermarkets and grocery stores offset by a fall in liquor retailing. Levels in
supermarkets and grocery stores remained elevated, with evidence of stockpiling
occurring at the very end of June, particularly in Victoria. Household goods
retailing fell in June 2020, however this industry continued to trade
significantly above the levels of June 2019. Department stores fell 12%
following a large rise in May."
