	22/10/2015	Retail Week, Matthew Chapman - Retail sales jump 6.5% in September on back of bank holiday boost

	Retail sales up in September - ONS

	Retail Week reports that data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has shown that retail sales increased 6.5% in September year-on-year despite average store prices falling by 3.6%. Growth was driven by online as ecommerce sales jumped 15.2% year-on-year and increased by 4.5% compared with the previous month. However, sales were flattered by the period running from August 30 to October 3, which means they included the bank holiday weekend. Figures from last September did not include the bank holiday weekend. Retail sales have now grown for the 29th consecutive month following the September increase.
