Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: Yesterday, Xero released its latest Small Business Insights for July, showing further signs of recovery across much of the small business sector. Although overall small business revenue was down slightly on July 2019, revenue in the manufacturing industry rose 13 percent, hospitality 6 percent, and retail by 6 percent. Small business employment continued to rise during the month, up 0.8 percent to be just 1.7 percent below COVID levels. Small business job numbers recovered 3 percent since their low point in April. This is further data that underlines the benefits for small business of New Zealand quickly getting on top of COVID-19 and opening up the economy more freely. With the latest outbreak in Auckland, I would emphasise the point made by Craig Hudson, Xero's managing director for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, when he said, "it remains imperative to our nation's economic recovery that those who can shop locally and pay their bills on time, in order to support their local community and [its] business within it. Keeping money circulating in our economy will help to keep more people employed and more shop fronts open for longer."
