The activities of the intelligence agency (Stasi) helped companies obtain technical and scientific information from the West, which led to rapid productivity growth and increased investments, especially in core products. These activities resulted in economic gains amounting to billions of euros, with an annual return per valuable piece of information estimated at around 330,000 euros in 2020 prices.
