The use and re-use of spatial information is estimated to have added NZD 1.2 billion in productivity-related benefits to the New Zealand economy in 2008. This value is the result of increasing adoption of modern spatial information technologies over the period 1995-2008 and is equivalent to slightly more than 0.6 per cent of GDP.
