UK retail footfall rebounds in March with 2.

UK retail footfall rebounds in March with 2.4 percent growth. The British Retail Consortium's latest data shows footfall reversed February's 4.7 percent decline, marking a return to positive territory. However, analysts caution the gains are significantly inflated by Easter's earlier calendar timing this year. The holiday's shift pulled forward consumer spending and shopping trips that would normally occur in April, creating a misleading picture of underlying retail health. Retailers remain cautious about April's outlook, as the Easter boost will not repeat and consumer spending patterns may normalize. The data reflects broader challenges facing UK retail, where foot traffic remains volatile amid economic uncertainty and changing shopping habits.
