Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: The arts and culture sector continues to be the engine of growth and innovation, helping to fuel the New Zealand economy. The sector contributes approximately $10.9 billion to the New Zealand economy, making up about 3.4 percent of GDP. The support we've announced follows ongoing engagement with the sector to understand their needs as the pandemic has progressed. It underlines the economic and social value of the arts, and ensures that we're taking active steps towards protecting people's jobs, incomes, and the livelihoods of those who make a living from delivering arts experiences and events.
