本港零售連升5個月。政府統計處公布，今年9月零售額臨時估計為313億元，按年升5.9%，高於市場預期升2.6%，增幅亦創21個月新高，銷貨量按年漲4.8%，其中包括手機的電器及其他未分類耐用消費品零售額大升31.3%，市場認為與9月蘋果開售新系列iPhone所致。 銷貨額升幅創21個月高 9月份網上銷售額臨時估計為39億元，按年升27.3%，零售額升幅最大是電器及其他未分類耐用消費品，按年漲31.3%，零售管理協會執行總監羅振邦表示，主要是新型號手機開售。 至於酒類飲品及煙草則按年升16%，而珠寶首飾、鐘錶及名貴禮物，以及藥物及化妝品分別增9.1%及7.6%。羅振邦指出，珠寶首飾零售額上升，主因今年金價累漲五成，但鞋類零售額跌一成，反映本地消費仍疲弱。 他提到，9月零售額升5.9%，因去年基數較低，近期零售額維持在290億至310億元，反映銷售額已穩定，不再惡化。他引述零售會員調查，八成半會員預計11月生意持平或上升，主要是港人留港消費、美國減息、中美貿易戰緩和及旅客增加等，均對零售有正面作用，而各商戶在聖誕前夕有更多促銷活動，會刺激消費市道。 業界展望聖誕生意穩定 至於12月及聖誕節 Source link
