On the other hand, the inflation for food and non-alcoholic beverages increased by 4.7 percent during the same period, which means that the sales development ends up at -0.1 percent after price adjustment according to Svensk Dagligvaruhandel.
"The sales in the daily goods trade increased during August. Since the inflation for food and non-alcoholic beverages in a yearly rate was slightly higher than the sales growth, the volume development was slightly negative", writes Karin Brynell, CEO of Svensk Dagligvaruhandel in a press release.
