# Source Document Not Available

The source document for the **South Korea Retail Sales MoM (February 2026)** release could not be retrieved because it has not yet been published by Statistics Korea.

**Reason:**
The statistical release "Monthly Industrial Activity Trends" (which includes Retail Sales/Service Industry Activity) for February 2026 is scheduled for publication on **March 31, 2026, at 08:00 KST** (equivalent to March 30, 2026, at 23:00 UTC). While the event timestamp has passed, institutional websites often have a short lag in posting the English-language PDF/HTML press release or may require a few hours for the direct URL to become discoverable by search tools.

A manual check of the Statistics Korea board (bid=11593) was attempted but failed due to connection resets, likely due to regional IP blocking or heavy traffic at the time of release.

**Indicators requested:**
- Retail Sales MoM (KR)
- Source: Statistics Korea (KOSTAT)
- Reference Period: Feb 2026
