Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): Last week's Xero's small-business index bounced back in February as strong sales supported growth as firms grappled with the initial challenge of Omicron. The index was well above average, at 114.5, largely driven by small-business sales and wage growth. Sales surged 13.3 percent, year on year, led by the construction and manufacturing sectors. Hospitality was the only sector to see a decline. Wage growth picked up pace to 4.3 percent—compared to 3.8 percent in January—led by construction and hospitality. Job growth was 3.3 percent. Xero said it was encouraging to see our small-business community performing well over February but noted that there are challenges—particularly for the hospitality sector—and that we needed to be doing everything we can to support those small businesses, as we have been doing.
