Adjusted net savings, excluding particulate emission damage (% of GNI)

This economic indicator reflects a nation's ability to sustain its economic development by accounting for various factors that impact long-term prosperity. It combines net national savings with investments in education, recognizing the importance of human capital for future growth. However, it subtracts costs associated with natural resource depletion, such as energy sources, minerals, and forests, as well as the carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to climate change. By specifically excluding damages from particulate emissions, this metric provides a clearer picture of a country’s savings performance while emphasizing the long-term implications of environmental degradation. Consequently, it serves as an essential tool for policymakers, highlighting the balance between economic growth and sustainable resource management within the broader context of gross national income.
