Eurozone retail sales down

The figure was sharply worse than a drop of 0.4% forecast by analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires.

The volume of retail trade in the entire 27-nation European Union fell by 1.2%, the EU's Eurostat data agency said.

On a 12-month basis, eurozone sales in February dropped by 4.0% and EU sales by 3.4%, the agency said.
