Retail sales grew by 1.52% in June compared to the same month last year, according to Cecis. This figure marks a significant advance for the commercial sector of Río Cuarto. The year-over-year increase demonstrates that activity continues to move forward despite the context.
The improvement occurred in 9 out of the 12 categories measured, confirming a generally positive trend across different sectors. Local commerce is beginning to consolidate a recovery that had already been emerging. In this context, merchants are once again looking to the future with favorable expectations.
The positive figures reflect that the economy is beginning to show concrete signs of stabilization. In a climate of fiscal order and predictability, consumers are once again reactivating consumption. This is possible thanks to the conditions caused by the new economic direction.
Home appliances and optical stores lead sales growth
The home appliances category had the highest year-over-year growth, with 8.26% more sales. Optical stores followed, with an increase of 3.34%, consolidating the interest in durable and essential goods. These figures reflect greater purchasing power and more confident buying decisions.
The growth of these categories shows that families are resuming purchases that had previously been postponed. Price stability and lower inflation are driving more rational decisions. It also demonstrates a dynamic commerce sector that is adapting to the new reality.
