What it is	Sweden's retail sales measure the volume of goods sold by retail outlets, including food. Published by Statistics Sweden (SCB), they are one of the most relevant indicators for tracking household consumption.
How it's calculated	They are built from a survey of a broad sample of retailers on their turnover, from which an index against a base year is constructed. They are released in volume (deflated) terms, calendar- and seasonally adjusted, with year-on-year and month-on-month changes.
Market implications	They give an early read on private consumption, the largest component of Sweden's GDP, making them an input for growth estimates and for the policy of the Riksbank and the Swedish krona (SEK).
Limitations	It is a volatile indicator, sensitive to seasonal factors, promotions and the calendar. Preliminary data are revised as more survey responses arrive, and it does not capture spending on services.
