In October 2024*, the volume of sales in wholesale trade except that of motor vehicles and motorcycles decreased again over a month (‑0.6% after ‑1.6% in September), driven mainly by the further decline in sales in “other specialised wholesale” (fuels, wood, chemicals, etc.: ‑2.6% as in September).
