PostFinance consumption indicator

The PostFinance consumption indicator shows a year-on-year comparison of Swiss consumer expenditure each month. It is similar to the Retail Trade Turnover Statistics published by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office, but is available more rapidly. Our data is also more comprehensive. This allows us to develop additional, seasonally adjusted consumer indicators, which comprise expenditure for specific goods and services (“everyday & household”, “beauty & wellness”, “recreation & leisure” and “travel”).
