_v4 June 2003(3)
520 _aThe CBI's latest Quarterly Distributive Trades Survey shows that conditions on the high street have improved but retail sales growth is only modest compared with last year. Retail sales were higher in May than a year earlier; the second consecutive month of year-on-year growth following a poor start to 2003. 40% of respondents said that sales were up while 26% said they were down. However, this is worse than the impressive growth of last year and also compared with longer term averages. http://www.cbi.org.uk/ndbs/press.nsf/0363c1f07c6ca12a8025671c00381cc7/cb8c1b82e30bfa6480256d350032faf0?OpenDocument
