Per-item analysis
New Zealand
New Zealand is the world's #47 economy by GDP ($264bn) and ranks #44/50 on absolute Cognitive Power and #24/50 on per-capita intensity. No index ranks as a clear strength across the headline indices; its trajectory is Maintaining — holding position but not compounding an advantage. The binding concern is cognitive power index.
Strengths
- No standout strength.
Risk factors
- Relative trajectory — Maintaining: Risk: the frontier keeps moving, so standing still means slow relative decline. A stable base, but it needs fresh momentum to avoid drifting back.
- Affluent but under-utilizing — a high-income economy (GDP/cap $57,350 PPP) whose AI utilization (AIX 42.8) lags its means.
- Binding weakness — Cognitive Power Index 20.3 (#44/50, Developing): limited absolute weight: a price-taker that depends on capacity built elsewhere.
