German retail sales unexpectedly fell in December as a Christmas shopping period weighed down by high inflation and the energy crisis revived fears of a more marked slowdown in Europe's largest economy, data showed on Tuesday.
Retail sales decreased by 5.3% in December compared with the previous month, the federal statistics office said. Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast a 0.2% rise in price-adjusted terms.
"Just before Christmas, retailers in German city centres missed the big rush," said VP Bank chief economist Thomas Gitzel.
