Trade statements are positive from UK Retailers indicating their high levels of resilience in what has been a difficult market.
More than 60% of retailers who are listed on the London Stock Exchange present trading statements of a positive nature in the 3rd quarter.
The percentage is more than double the previous quarter. The non-food market did however indicate profit warnings.
The recent change in interest rates have made trading uncertain and consumer choice unpredictable, the UK retailers have stood their ground and it seems benefited even in the present financial climate.
