From: Tamsyn
Dear Statistics New Zealand,
We are interested in understanding how Statistics New Zealand group retail spend categories as defined by Visa (Merchant category codes) into the higher level industry categories shown within the Retail Trade Survey available publicly on your website (https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-re...). This information will help us to better understand what type of spend each reported industry includes.
Could we please receive the mapping used by Statistics New Zealand to map the merchant category codes to the industries?
Yours faithfully,
Tamsyn
