About the indicator

Gross fixed capital formation and changes in inventories in current US dollars — what is commonly called investment in the economy. It covers the construction of buildings and structures, purchases of machinery and equipment, roads and networks, as well as the build-up of inventories. The word gross means that the wear of existing capital is not deducted: part of these outlays merely replaces what is retiring rather than adding to the stock.

Important: This concerns outlays on physical capital inside the country, not financial investment and not inflows of foreign capital.
