Tex Edwards: MonopolyWatch spokesperson on Woolworths slashing 70 percent of value from NZ supermarkets
from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB
Woolworths is slashing the value of its New Zealand supermarkets by $2.3 billion to $700 million in a 70 percent decrease. The company blames a 'weaker medium-term outlook' and higher interest rates for this decision. MonopolyWatch spokesperson Tex Edwards says this announcement is a PR stunt to push back against a wave of inquiries. "You publish bad news before the Commerce Commission and the board members and the lobbyists start to come down." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
