Nearly 1000 emails have been sent to the Government alerting them to potential price gouging amid the coronavirus lockdown.
As at 9am, April 1, 991 emails had been sent to the Pricewatch inbox, the Ministry of Business and Innovation told the Herald.
"However, some of the emails are unrelated to price complaints while others are duplicates or people providing further information on their initial email," MBIE said.
On Monday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Kiwis could alert the Government to price gouging during the coronavirus lockdown.
"One of the things we are very focused on, from about five weeks ago this was both a medical event and an economic event and one of the things we are really clear on is New Zealanders are going through different economic outcomes of this and we need to make sure the value in our supermarkets is held."
Elsewhere, Ardern announced yesterday supermarkets would be open on Easter Sunday but closed as usual on Good Friday.
The announcement was made during her daily update on the coronavirus pandemic and New Zealand's lockdown.
