LONDON, April 26 (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.
