The poorer poor performance comes from poorer sales of mobile phones compared to the high base in September 2019 when there were new mobile phone launches, Singstat notes.
Singapore’s retail sales activity remained in the red in September, widening from the contractions registered in the previous months.
The total retail sales value plunged 10.8% year-on-year in September, making this the metric’s seventh consecutive month of decline. It is also a larger fall from the 5.7% contraction registered in August, data released by the Department of Statistics (Singstat) on Nov 5 revealed.
