About this indicator

Source	INDEC
Frequency	Mensual
Release	Aproximadamente un mes después del periodo de referencia.
What it is	Supermarket sales measure the turnover of large supermarket chains in Argentina. Published by INDEC, they are a high-frequency gauge of household spending on food and everyday consumer goods.
How it's calculated	INDEC collects the turnover of a sample of supermarket chains and publishes a sales index at current prices and at constant prices (deflated), with monthly and annual changes.
Market implications	They offer a read on the pulse of Argentine private consumption, heavily shaped by high inflation. Volume sales (at constant prices) are the ones to watch, since nominal figures are inflated by rising prices.
Limitations	It covers only the large chains, not the whole retail sector. It is volatile and sensitive to seasonality and promotions, and in Argentina high inflation distorts the reading of the nominal series.
