Good news for the retail sector as sales increase across the country. 

Stats NZ data shows the total volume of sales increased 1.9% in the September quarter, equalling more than $470 million. 

The growth was driven by motor vehicles and electronic goods, which saw the biggest boost this quarter. 

Retail NZ CEO Carolyn Young told Mike Hosking the start of a new Government year may play a role in the rising numbers. 

She says leases may expire and people may need new vehicles, which happens in the third quarter.
