Japan's total wholesale and retail sales in August 2026 reached 52.6 trillion yen, a significant pullback from the previous value of 58.3 trillion yen. Among them, August retail sales increased by 2.7% year-on-year, marking six consecutive months of positive growth, but fell short of the market expectation of 3.3%. Automobile sales served as the main support, while natural disasters and high inflation are weakening some consumption momentum.
