The Retail Trade Survey measures the sales turnover and stock levels of a wide range of businesses that provide household and personal goods and services. Retailers include car yards, petrol stations, supermarkets, department stores, hardware retailers, cafes and restaurants, hotels and motels, and other store-based and non-store-based retailers. Retail Trade Survey statistics are published quarterly for the following variables: sales value of goods and services, by industry, and region; sales volume, by industry; value of stock held, by industry.
Purpose
The purpose of the survey is to provide short-term economic indicators of the retail trade sector. In addition, the data is used for compiling the retail trade sector component of the quarterly national accounts (on the production side) and in compiling household consumption expenditure (on the expenditure side). Results from the survey provide a valuable guide to retail trading and general economic conditions within New Zealand.
