Retail sales in Japan climbed 2.6 percent in January compared to the previous year, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said on Friday, rising for the first time in 17 months.
That was sharply higher than analyst expectations for a 0.2 percent decline following the revised 0.2 percent contraction in December.
Sales from large retailers fell 4.6 percent on year, matching both the forecasts and the rate of decline from the previous month.
On a monthly basis, retail sales surged by a seasonally adjusted 2.9 percent versus forecasts for a 0.3 percent increase after the 1.1 percent contraction in December.
