MasterCard Papers - Reserve Bank of New Zealand Payments Analysis

Good morning,

Please find attached the May 2012 edition of the MasterCard Papers.
This month, we cast the spotlight onto the additional economic value and intelligence that can be extracted from the monthly tracking of credit card use by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. In particular, we consider how these numbers act as a timely and sensitive barometer that helps us distinguish between sentiment and perception versus actual consumer behaviour.
