Investment by institutional sectors

This indicator shows the investment for the total economy, government, business as well as household sectors. The indicator gives the share of GDP that is used for gross investment (rather than being used for e.g. consumption or exports). It is defined as gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) expressed as a percentage of GDP for the government, business and households sectors. GFCF consists of resident producers' acquisitions, less disposals of fixed assets plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets realised by productive activity, such as improvements to land. Fixed assets comprise, for example, dwellings, other buildings and structures (roads, bridges etc.), machinery and equipment, but also intangible assets such as computer software.本指标涵盖整体经济、政府、企业及住户部门的投资情况。该指标用于计算用于总投资（而非消费或出口等用途）的国内生产总值（Gross Domestic Product, GDP）占比。其定义为政府、企业与住户部门的固定资本形成总额（Gross Fixed Capital Formation, GFCF）占GDP的百分比。固定资本形成总额指常住生产者购置固定资产的支出减去处置固定资产的收入，再加上生产活动实现的非生产资产价值增量，例如土地改良。固定资产具体包括住宅、其他建筑物与构筑物（道路、桥梁等）、机器设备，以及计算机软件等无形资产。
