Retail NZ

Of the 473 topics this group pushed in its own releases, 34 also surfaced in earned coverage—and it pushed 12 of those before that coverage. Co-occurrence isn’t proof the group caused the coverage; the match is a conservative exact-topic one over the last 12 months.

What this group pushes, and where. Each topic is fused across its own press releases (owned) and its people’s appearances across radio, press & commentary (earned) — a topic carried in both is a frame taken from their words into the wider coverage. Framing is in their own words where available.

• ****Importance of easy access to cash clear in Reserve Bank findings**** \\ \\ **1 October 2026**\\ \\ Many retailers feel they need to offer cash as an option not only to serve their shoppers who want to use it as a means of payment, but also to remain resilient and able to function when card and digital payments can’t be made, such as during a power cut or a natural disaster.
