Retail Trade Nowcast
Content: Using monthly data from 2005:01 to 2019:12, we estimate the month-on-month correlation between the retail trade turnover index (Detailhandelsumsatz, DHU) and debit card transactions at point-of-sale. Based on the observed monthly DHU indicators for 2020 and the observed payment card transaction volume of the most recent month, we nowcast the unobserved DHU index for that month.
