    could be a slower Christmas for retailers, but the situation should turn around next year


    Latest Stats NZ figures show card spending was 5.6 percent lower in September, and 1.1 percent lower in October, than the same months last year.

    ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley says while there is still caution in the short term.
