Australian retail turnover fell 0.8 per cent in June 2023, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). This follows a 0.8 per cent rise in May 2023, and a 0.1 per cent fall in April 2023. Ben Dorber, ABS head of retail statistics, said: "Retail turnover fell sharply in June due to weaker than usual spending on end of financial year sales.
