M&S and Primark among retailers to shed light on consumer spending

M&S and Primark are among the retailers expected to provide clarity on current consumer spending habits. This development follows the release of official data indicating that retail sales volumes experienced a decline of 0.4% in September. This decrease was more significant than previously expected, prompting these major brands to shed light on the factors influencing shopper behaviour and the overall economic climate affecting the retail sector during this specific period of market volatility.
