India, Oct. 18 -- The services sector in New Zealand continued to expand in September, albeit at a slightly slower rate, the latest survey from BusinessNZ revealed on Monday with a Performance of Services score of 50.9.

That's down from 51.0 in August, although it remains above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

Among the individual components of the survey, sales (50.2), new orders (52.6) and stocks (52.3) expanded, while employment (49.8) and supplier deliveries (49.4) contracted.
