Gross domestic fixed capital formation
The part of domestic gross investment that consists of durable goods rather than stocks and work in progress. ‘Fixed’ is contrasted with ‘circulating’ capital, and does not refer to geographical immobility; thus vehicles, ships, and aircraft are all included in this aggregate.
