BRASILIA (Reuters) – Retail sales in Brazil rose 0.1% in May from April, government statistics agency IBGE said on Wednesday, less than the 1.0% growth expected in a Reuters poll of economists.
Sales were down 0.2% from the same month a year earlier, versus a 2.60% increase predicted by economists.
