Norway's retail trade dropped 0.9 percent from a month earlier in May 2022, after an upwardly revised 1.3 percent fall in the previous month. It was the third time decline in the first five months of the year, due to a further decrease in sales of both other household equipment (-1.9% vs -5.4%), non-specialised stores (-1.1% vs -1.4%), automotive fuel (-0.9% vs -1.7%). In addition, sales of both ICT-equipment (0.3% vs 2.8%) and trade not in stores (0.7% vs 1.6%) rose softer. The pandemic and regulations imposed to limit infections have contributed to Norwegians changing their consumption pattern in the direction of spending less on services, and more on retail goods.
