German retail sales dropped more than expected in December, data showed on Tuesday, as tighter coronavirus-related restrictions hurt trade in textiles, clothing, shoes and leather goods.
The Federal Statistics Office said retail sales - a volatile indicator often subject to revisions - tumbled 5.5% on the month in real terms, compared with a Reuters forecast for a fall of 1.4%.
"The December decline is probably related to the fact many retail outlets have started asking for proof of COVID-19 vaccination or recovery, and the impact of seasonal adjustment due to Christmas," the statistics office said in a statement.
On the year, retail sales adjusted for prices remained stable, compared with analysts' average forecast for an increase of 1.1%, according to a Reuters poll.
Compared with February 2025, the month before the coronavirus crisis hit Germany, retail sales in December 2025 were up 0.7%.
At the same time, businesses hope for a probable decline in coronavirus cases in spring to ease supply bottlenecks and brighten the outlook for the coming months.
