Why PSI is valuable

Public sector information constitutes a vast, diverse and valuable pool of resources. In Market Assessment of Public Sector Information (commissioned by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills in 2013), the value of public sector information to consumers, businesses and the public sector itself in 2011/12 was estimated to be approximately £1.8 billion (in 2011 prices).

Re-use of public sector information provides enormous opportunities for economic and social benefits, while also promoting transparency and accountability of the public sector.
