​​The Retail Sales Survey was launched in April 2007 and collects information on the performance of the Island's retail sector on a quarterly basis. It provides an early short term measure of economic activity in Jersey.

The Retails Sales Survey for Quarter 2 (Q2) 2011 shows that:

• the total volume of retail sales in Jersey has been substantially flat for the last 3 quarters, at a level similar to that recorded 3 years earlier
• in Q2 2011 the volume of retail sales in predominantly food stores was similar to that seen in the previous 2 quarters, and was 2% higher on an annual basis
• the volume of retail sales in predominantly non-food stores in Q2 2011 was 3% lower than in the previous quarter, and whilst being up 4% on an annual basis remained below that recorded throughout 2008
