In February 2026, national GDP recorded year-on-year growth of 3.7% compared to the same month in 2025. In line with this trend, the trade sector showed positive performance, expanding by 6.1%, driven by the increase in domestic demand. This result was mainly influenced by the dynamism of wholesale trade (+4.4%) and retail trade (+5.8%) activities, reflecting a greater circulation of goods and a progressive recovery of consumption in the domestic market.
