What it is	It is an indicator that analyzes the activity of enterprises engaged in retail trade in Spain and to measure short-term developments in the sector.
How it's calculated	A study was made to a group of companies, food, personal equipment, household and other consumer goods. It excludes activities such as those in places without permanent installation, such as those in cars, motorcycles, ... etc, those of second-hand goods, those made in homes without the permission pertinente..etc. Subsequently, the index is calculated, the base year is 2005. In January 2004 began to publish indices retail trade at constant prices, that is, eliminating the effect that prices have on the evolution of sales.
Market implications	Strongly related to the behavior patterns of consumption and consumer spending. In times of crisis it decreased spending on non-essential goods, and often anticipate a reduction in wholesale sales, increased inventories or cut production. Therefore, it can also relate this indicator to the evolution of demand and consumer confidence.
Limitations	It is a fact not corrected for seasonality (effects they may have certain months in sales), so that the right thing is to compare a month with the same last year, not between two consecutive periods. Furthermore it measured in current prices, without removing the effects of inflation, why the change in the indicator reflects both the actual variation in the amount of products sold and prices.
