LONDON, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- British retail sales bounced back in January 2019, reaching the highest since December 2016, according to data released Friday by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Figures showed that the quantity bought in all retailing in January rose by 4.2 percent, compared with the same period one year earlier, hitting the highest since December 2016.

In the three months to January 2019, the quantity bought increased by 0.7 percent, compared with the previous three months.

On the monthly basis, the growth rate in the quantity bought increased by 1.0 percent in January.
