Government to investigate price of groceries

From Lately, 10:30 pm on 17 November 2020

The Government has announced it will investigate the cost of groceries, to see if we're paying too much at the supermarket.

The Commerce Commission will carry out the study, with the final report due in November 2021. The Government says if competition issues are identified, it will consider 'necessary changes'.
