英国工业联合会周一公布的一项调查显示，英国零售商本月报告的销售降幅为一年半以来最小，与近期该行业其他数据所呈现的低迷趋势背道而驰。
British retailers this month reported the smallest fall in sales in a year and a half, a survey from the Confederation of British Industry showed on Monday, bucking the downbeat trend in other recent data from the sector.
英国工业联合会表示，其月度销售量差额从10月创下的五个月低点-55升至11月的-10，为2025年4月以来的最高水平。这一时节的销售表现为2024年5月以来最强。
The CBI said its monthly sales volume balance rose to -10 in November from October's five-month low of -55, reaching its highest since April 2025. Sales for the time of year were the strongest since May 2024.
英国工业联合会首席经济学家马丁·萨托里乌斯表示：“持续的零售销售低迷在10月有所缓解，销量录得一年多来最慢的年度降幅。”“话虽如此，前景依然脆弱，因为企业面临家庭谨慎支出和燃料成本上升带来的不利因素。”
"The ongoing retail sales downturn eased in October, with volumes falling at their slowest annual pace in over a year," CBI Lead Economist Martin Sartorius said. "That said, the outlook remains fragile as businesses face headwinds from cautious household spending and higher fuel costs."
11月销售量预期从此前对10月预期的-37升至-10。向供应商下达订单的差额从9月创纪录低点的-62升至10月的-36。英国工业联合会呼吁财政大臣约翰·希利在周三的首份年度预算中削减雇主的社会保障缴款和房产税。上周的官方数据显示，截至9月的12个月中，英国年度零售销售量增长从截至8月的12个月的2.7%大幅放缓至0.8%。
