Fixed-capital consumption

Definition

This is depreciation sustained by fixed capital during the period in question further to normal wear and foreseeable obsolescence.
The term "gross" in expressions like Gross domestic product or Gross fixed capital formation means that fixed-capital consumption has not been subtracted. When these figures have been subtracted, their value is said to be "net".
