2026.06.2910:00:00UTC+00Irish Retail Sales Stabilise in May After April Decline

Ireland’s retail sector showed signs of stabilisation in May 2026, with year-over-year sales growth holding at 0.0%, according to data updated on 29 June 2026. This follows a 0.5% year-over-year decline recorded in April 2026.

The shift from a negative reading in April to flat performance in May suggests that consumer activity may be finding a floor after recent weakness. While the latest figure does not indicate growth, it marks an improvement in momentum compared with the previous month’s contraction when measured against the same period a year earlier.

Market participants and policymakers are likely to interpret the May data as a pause in the downward trend rather than a clear recovery, with upcoming releases needed to confirm whether Irish retail demand can move back into positive territory on a sustained basis.
