About this ranking

Acquisitions less disposals of fixed assets, such as buildings, machinery, equipment and intellectual property, plus certain spending that adds to the value of non-produced assets such as land, as a percentage of GDP. World Bank national accounts data, compiled from national statistical offices and central banks and from OECD national accounts files.

Current prices, so the share moves with relative prices as well as volumes. Countries that rebase their national accounts can shift it by several points. The latest year varies by country.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 11 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2013 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
