Ireland Retail Sales YoY
Ireland's retail sales year-over-year growth slowed to 3.9% in August 2025 from 4.2% in July 2025. This moderation occurred despite a slight improvement in consumer sentiment to 61.1 in August from 59.1 in July. Persistent cost-of-living pressures, shown by a 21.9% increase in beef prices and an 18.6% increase in butter prices in July, likely contributed to the slowdown. The US-EU trade deal while reducing uncertainty, continues to present headwinds due to existing tariffs. Ireland's record low retail sales yoy was -44.4% in April 2020 and record high was 80.2% in April 2021.
