German retail sales lower
Sales slipped 2.3 percent from November, when they fell a revised 3.4 percent, the Federal Statistics Office said in Wiesbaden. Economists had expected an increase of 0.5 percent, the median of 16 forecasts showed in a Bloomberg News survey. Sales declined 2.5 percent from the year-earlier period.
