New Zealand is set to introduce legislation this November designed to expedite the approval process for supermarkets. This initiative aims to enhance competition and reduce grocery prices. Finance Minister Nicola Willis stated that the forthcoming rules will streamline the procedures for opening or expanding supermarkets, effectively tackling the entrenched barriers that have hindered new market entrants in a sector largely controlled by Foodstuffs NZ and Australia's Woolworths. The government intends to establish a primary authority to manage these approvals and will revise foreign investment regulations to provide clear avenues for new participants. Willis also cautioned that companies might face legal action if they exploit their market dominance to obstruct competitors, stressing the importance of fostering a more competitive and dynamic grocery market.
