STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's H&M, the world's second-biggest fashion retailer, reported on Monday local-currency sales growth for its fiscal fourth quarter that roughly matched market expectations.

Local-currency sales including VAT in the September-November period rose 6 percent from a year earlier, against a mean Reuters poll forecast for a 6.5 percent increase.
