NEW ZEALAND
Electronic card transactions rose 0.8% m/m and 3.3% y/y in November up from 1% y/y, while retail increased by a robust +1.6% but is only up 1.3% y/y. Retail was likely boosted by November’s cyber week sales. Spending is holding up but is signalling further slowing in Q4 to date. It has been supported by the increase in the population and so per person consumption is declining. The RBNZ remains concerned though about the inflationary impact of increased demand from higher migration.
