LONDON (Reuters) – British retail sales inched higher in April, although most shop chains do not foresee a lasting improvement, an industry survey showed on Wednesday.

The Confederation of British Industry’s monthly retail sales balance rose to +5 in April from +1 in March, its highest level this year.

Expectations for May were slightly negative, however.

The survey of 72 retailers took place between March 27 and April 13.
