Latvia’s retail sector showed signs of renewed momentum in June 2026, with sales rising 0.60% month-on-month, according to data updated on 29 July 2026. This follows a marginal decline of 0.10% in May 2026, indicating a shift back into positive territory for consumer activity.
The reported figures compare each month’s performance with the immediately preceding month. The latest reading suggests that, after a slight pullback in May versus April, Latvian consumers modestly increased their spending in June, potentially signaling improving confidence or stabilizing demand in the domestic market.
While the scale of the rebound is moderate, the transition from negative to positive monthly growth will be closely watched by analysts and policymakers as they assess the resilience of household consumption and its contribution to Latvia’s broader economic outlook in the second half of 2026.
