South Australia has recorded the strongest growth in retail sales in November, up 3.1 per cent compared to the national rise of 1.4 per cent.

It seems shoppers weren't afraid to open their wallets as retail outlets posted their largest rise in takings since the end of the Federal Government's cash stimulus payments in March.

The growth was more than four times higher than the 0.3 per cent rise experts had tipped, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said, building the case for another interest rate rise as early as next month.

SA's rise was followed by ACT at 2.7 per cent and Victoria at 2.1 per cent.

Turnover in clothing and footwear rose 2.5 per cent in November, household good sales were 1.7 per cent higher and food retailing was up 1.6 per cent.
