British Retail Consortium (Organization)

Aug 5 British shop prices fell more sharply in July than the month before, due partly to bigger discounts on clothes, the British Retail Consortium said on Wednesday. The BRC said shop prices in July were 1.4 percent lower than a year earlier, compared with a 1.3 percent decline in June. "Clothing retailers were keen to shift their summer stock with widespread discounts clearly part of their strategy," BRC Director General Helen Dickinson said, pointing to a year-on-year fall of 4.9 percent. Food prices rose 0.1 percent on the year -- the first increase in seven months -- after a 0.4 percent fall in June. The BRC said July's increase was a blip, driven by higher prices for bread and alcohol.
