## Next release

The next China Retail Sales release is scheduled for Oct 19, 2026 at 10:00 Asia/Shanghai. This page updates with the official value the moment the announcement is published.

China Retail Sales printed 0.4% year on year in August 2026, a change of -0.2 percentage points from 0.6%. The value sits below the previous reading, so the important market question is whether it confirms the prevailing trend or forces a reassessment of CNY macro pricing.
