The Australian retail turnover rate is holding steady, according to new figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The retail turnover in July was around $36 million, which was the same amount spent in June, according to the ABS.
Ben Dorber, ABS head of retail statistics, says the figure comes after a 0.5 per cent growth in spending throughout June and May.
While the overall rate is steady, some industries experienced a drop in spending.
Clothing, footwear and accessory retailing dropped by 0.5 per cent, followed by a drop in people shopping at department stores at 0.4 per cent.
Spending at cafes, restaurants and takeaway places dropped by 0.2 per cent.
