Matt Ball: NZ Property Investors Federation Advocacy Manager on the report showing the sector's economic impact
The economic impact of property investors is being quantified for the first time.
A report commissioned by the Property Investors Federation estimates the sector added $24.8 billion to GDP last year.
It also links investors to about 126 thousand jobs nationwide – about 5% of the workforce.
Advocacy Manager Matt Ball told Mike Hosking the lack of data has been damaging to the sector.
He says it leads to bad policy which leads to bad outcomes, so they're trying to change that.
