New Zealand retail sales rise 0.7% in Q2, beating 0.3% forecast

New Zealand Economy

New Zealand retail sales grew 0.7% quarter-on-quarter in Q2, surpassing the 0.3% consensus estimate, though slowing from the 1.1% gain recorded in Q1. The result suggests consumer spending held up better than expected even as the Reserve Bank of New Zealand maintained restrictive interest rates. Retail sales are a primary measure of household consumption, which is the largest component of New Zealand's GDP.
