Adjusted savings: consumption of fixed capital (% of GNI)

This metric quantifies the portion of a nation's Gross National Income that is dedicated to accounting for the depreciation of fixed assets, reflecting the economic reality of capital consumption over time. It highlights the extent to which a country's productive capacity is being maintained or eroded, serving as a crucial barometer for sustainable economic growth. A higher percentage indicates that investments are being made to replace worn-out infrastructure, machinery, and buildings, ensuring future productivity. Conversely, a lower value suggests a potential decline in productive capacity, risking long-term economic stability. By tracking this indicator, policymakers and economists can assess whether current growth is genuinely sustainable or merely a product of overexploiting existing capital assets. Source:
