There's hopes the war in Iran doesn't reverse gains in our retail sector by making shipping more expensive. Stats NZ data shows back-to-back increases in electronic card spending for January and February. Retail NZ chief executive Carolyn Young says it's not happened in a long time. She says it would be a shame if the conflict dampens the upward trend. "Let's hope it's a short, sharp thing and we can get back to business as usual."
