MOSCOW, April 1. /TASS/. It is premature to speak about improvement in a situation with the retail trade turnover, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said on Saturday.

According to earlier released data of the Russian statistical agency Rosstat, the retail trade turnover declined 2.5% year-on-year in January - February 2017 to 4.4 trillion rubles ($78.2 bln).
