About these numbers
Input-output tables record what every industry buys from every other industry, what it imports, what it pays its staff, and where its output goes. Stats NZ publishes them every few years; these are for the year ended March 2020, which includes the first weeks of COVID-19 restrictions.
Output multiplier is the total output across the economy needed to meet $1 of final demand for an industry's output, including its suppliers and their suppliers. Use it with care: it assumes spare capacity, fixed prices and no switching between suppliers, so it overstates the effect of new spending on the economy. It is not a measure of an industry's importance.
Import content is the share of each $1 of final demand that ends up as imports, directly or through suppliers.
