New Zealanders stock pantries and extend wardrobes in July – Media release
10 August 2021
When adjusted for seasonal effects, New Zealanders spent $77 million (0.9 percent) more in July 2021 using their credit and debit cards, compared with June 2021, Stats NZ said today.
This increase in card spending in July was driven by the non-retail industry: up $43 million (2.4 percent). This category includes medical and other health care, travel and tour arrangement, postal and courier delivery, and other non-retail industries.
Total electronic card spending was $8,528 million in July 2021, with the retail industry accounting for almost three-quarters of this. Spending over the month was up across all spending categories except services, which saw a drop of $2 million (0.5 percent).
