List of countries by gross fixed capital formation

Last updated

This is the list of countries by gross fixed capital formation (GFCP), formerly known as gross fixed investment. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1.

According to World Bank, [1] gross fixed capital formation (formerly gross domestic fixed investment) includes land improvements (fences, ditches, drains, and so on); plant, machinery, and equipment purchases; and the construction of roads, railways, and the like, including schools, offices, hospitals, private residential dwellings, and commercial and industrial buildings. According to the 1993 SNA, [2] net acquisitions of valuables are also considered capital formation.

The following table shows the most recent values as well as two previous ones at 5-year intervals (if available) of gross fixed capital formation, expressed in millions of constant 2015 US dollars [3] and as percentage of GDP, [4] based on data published by World Bank. Sorting is alphabetical by country code, according to ISO 3166-1 alpha-3.
