# Source Document Not Available

The source document for the German Retail Sales (February 2026) release could not be retrieved from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) website.

**Reason:** 
While secondary financial news sources (e.g., InvestingLive, FXStreet) report that the data was released on March 31, 2026, the official press release is not yet appearing in the Destatis press index or via guessed URL patterns (PE26_109, PE26_110). Search results confirm that as of 06:22 UTC, the most recent indexed release is PE26_108 (Consumer Price Index, March 30).

**Indicators requested:** 
- Retail Sales MoM (Actual: -0.6%, Previous: -1.1%)
- Retail Sales YoY (Actual: 0.7%, Previous: 1.0%)
