Carolyn Young: Retail NZ CEO on retail spending trending upward before Iran conflict
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
There's hopes the war in Iran doesn't reverse gains in our retail sector by making shipping more expensive.
Stats NZ data shows back-to-back increases in electronic card spending for January and February.
Retail NZ chief executive Carolyn Young says it's not happened in a long time.
She says it would be a shame if the conflict dampens the upward trend.
"Let's hope it's a short, sharp thing and we can get back to business as usual."
