Tex Edwards: MonopolyWatch research director on the Government's new plan to boost supermarket competition
from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB
There's hopes a fresh call for reform to break our supermarket duopoly brings meaningful action. Economic Growth and Finance Minister Nicola Willis has announced a new strategy for creating more competition. The Government is receptive to cracking down on pricing - and helping new entrants access land and properties. MonopolyWatch research director Tex Edwards says the devil will be in the details. "Because there's been an overbuild - unless it's a breakup, you're not going to get what we call price competition and you're not going to get to see any sustainability competition."
