Comparable sales in Tesco's international market grew by 3.0% in the first quarter ended May 26, including 2.8% in Europe and 3.3% in Asia. At real exchange rates, international sales grew by 5.6 per cent in the first quarter, including 8.2 per cent in Europe and 2.8 per cent in Asia, while group sales grew by 1.8 per cent.
