Canterbury retail spending massive jump in the first week of Level 2

Posted on June 4, 2020 by Christchurch NZ


“The latest figures are a promising indicator that consumer spending does have the potential to soften the blow COVID-19 will have on our economy,” Elphick said.

Compared to the previous week, Elphick said spending had picked up significantly in all retail categories other than the Food, Liquor and Pharmacies category.

“The lowering of the alert level to 2 was particularly evident in the Clothing, Footwear and Dept. Stores and Home and Recreational categories, which increased by 81.4 and 54.7 percentage points respectively, compared to the previous week.”

Supermarkets continue to exhibit increased business in dollar terms (up by around 14.5 per cent compared to the same week last year).
