In the first quarter of 2026, the volume index of
Wholesale & retail trade recorded a year-on-year increase of 4.9 per cent, reaching 167.2 points. This growth was mainly
driven by Wholesale trade, which posted a 6.1
per cent increase, followed by Retail trade and Motor vehicles, which grew
by 4.8 per cent and 1.0 per cent, respectively.
However, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, the
overall volume index declined by 1.2 per cent, mainly attributed to a
sharp contraction of 13.8 per cent in the Motor vehicles sub-sector. In
contrast, Retail trade recorded moderate growth of 1.1 per cent, while
Wholesale trade edged down marginally by 0.3 per cent.
