MasterCard Papers - Reserve Bank NZ Payments Analysis
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.
