About the indicator

Gross capital formation as a percent of GDP: outlays on fixed assets (buildings, structures, machinery, transport equipment, infrastructure), changes in inventories of material working assets and net acquisition of valuables. A steadily high rate of capital formation is a necessary condition for fast growth: during the economic surges of East Asia the indicator exceeded 35–40% of GDP.
