Las ventas en los supermercados cayeron 11,6% al término del primer semestre - IMPULSO
Retail sales fell sharply in June, with wholesale supermarkets seeing a steep decline during the first half of the year. Although certain grocery categories posted notable gains, these increases barely kept pace with inflation, indicating that consumers’ purchasing power remains severely constrained by limited income. Looking ahead, analysts expect further contraction in July, suggesting the economy will struggle to sustain merchandise volumes. The narrative points to a potential shift toward currency competition, as households may be forced to liquidate dollars to meet their financial obligations. This data is crucial for open-data initiatives, as it underscores the value of accessible, granular economic indicators. Transparent metrics enable researchers and citizens to verify official statistics, understand the real-world economic impacts, and foster informed public debate on monetary policy and consumer behavior.
