Daily Retail Sales Index (IVDCM)

The Daily Retail Sales Index (IVDCM) is compiled from administrative records of electronic receipts provided by the Chilean tax agency (Servicio de Impuestos Internos - SII).  The index is updated twice a month; the 5th day with data from the first fortnight of the previous month and the 19th day with complete information.

Daily sales with electronic receipts include the total of transactions, independent of the means of payment and sales channel, between companies and final consumers (B2C). To obtain consistent time series, the indicator is created from a sample of companies selected for their reporting stability.

This indicator is part of the Experimental Statistics projects of the Central Bank of Chile which seek to accelerate the cycle of statistics elaboration and receive feedback from users in early stages of their development.
