Abstract: The volume of retail trade in 2021 exceeded that of the previous year by 7.3% in comparable prices; the volume of paid services consumed by households increased by 17.6% in annual terms.2 In 2021, growth in household consumption of goods and services was largely of a recovery nature, after as a result of pandemic-related restrictions their indices had declined in 2020 by 3.2% and 14.8% relative to 2019, respectively. The two-year movement of the volume of paid services (2019–2021) is near zero (+0.2%). The two-year growth in retail sales of foodstuffs, including beverages and tobacco products, amounted to 0.6%. The sales of non- food goods gained 7.1% relative to 2019. The cumulative retail turnover growth over two years amounted to 3.9% in comparable prices.
