The AIB Ireland Construction PMI, compiled by S&P Global, is based on monthly survey responses from approximately 150 construction firms, selected to represent the industry by workforce size and GDP contribution. Conducted in the latter half of each month, the survey measures month-on-month changes across various construction metrics. Results are presented as diffusion indices, where a reading above 50 signals growth, below 50 indicates contraction, and 50 represents no change. The headline figure—the Total Activity Index—tracks overall construction output and is seasonally adjusted for comparability over time. Though sometimes referred to as the "Construction PMI," it differs from the headline manufacturing PMI.

BRC Retail Sales Monitor YoY

2.3%

The BRC-KPMG Retail Sales Monitor measures changes in the actual value of retail sales from a sample of retailers. The Monitor measures the value of spending and hence does not adjust for price changes. If prices are rising, sales volumes will increase by less than sales values. In times of price deflation, sales volumes will increase by more than sales values. Retailers report the value of their sales and sales in the equivalent week a year ago. These figures are reported both in total and on a ‘like-for-like’ basis. The percentage increase in the value of sales on a ‘like-for-like’ basis removes the effect of the expansion of retail floor space by the retailers concerned on their sales total. Due to the sample being biased towards large retailers, the ‘like-for-like’ increase usually provides a more accurate guide to general spending patterns, though it will be biased downwards as an estimate of the growth rate for retail as a whole.
