Virus spreads to spending patterns
Spending through the Paymark network reveals mixed
spending patterns resulting from the coronavirus during
January and February.
Spending with China-issued credit cards was down 39.3% in February from a year earlier but had been up 19.8% in January. Total foreign-issued credit card spending was up 4.1% in January and 12.7% in February, with the high February figure in part due to the leap year effect.
