英国工业联合会的英国零售销售指标从7月的-34微升至2025年8月的-32,好于市场预期的-33。最新数据显示,零售额连续第11个月下降。展望未来,9月的前景乐观至-16。商店以2023年底以来最快的速度提价,CBI的价格指数跃升至+65,尽管预计下个月将放缓。CBI表示,需求疲软和劳动力成本上升正在挤压利润率,损害信心,导致企业削减招聘和投资。零售商还面临着财政部长雷切尔·里夫斯(Rachel Reeves)设定的更高就业税和最低工资大幅上涨的压力。
The Confederation of British Industry's retail sales gauge for the UK increased slightly to -32 in August 2025 from -34 in July, better than market expectations of -33. The latest reading indicated that retail sales volumes declined for the 11th consecutive month. Looking ahead, the outlook for September brightened to -16. Shops raised prices at the fastest pace since late 2023, with the CBI’s price gauge jumping to +65, though a slowdown is expected next month. The CBI said weak demand and higher labor costs are squeezing margins, hurting confidence and leading firms to cut back on hiring and investment. Retailers also face pressure from higher employment taxes set by Finance Minister Rachel Reeves and a sharp rise in the minimum wage.
