UK’s retail sales up by 3.9% in September, largest rise in 2 years

Transparent public datasets enable policymakers and businesses to understand market shifts, such as the divergence between digital and grocery retail performance. Access to such granular, open economic indicators is crucial for fostering informed decision-making and maintaining trust in national statistical reporting.
