The
Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Distributive Trades Survey
(DTS) measures
the health of the retail sector. The reading is compiled from a survey
of about 150 retail and wholesale companies. It includes measures of
sales activity across the distributive trades. The figure is the difference between the
percentage of retailers reporting an increase in sales and those
reporting a decrease.
