Description topics

Capital account
The European System of Accounts 1995 describes the economy as a series of
coherent economic partial processes. These partial processes include:
production, generating of income, distribution of income, income
expenditures, reallocation by capital transfers, generating of capital and
financing. Each partial process is described by a separate account. The
capital account includes (dis)investments and capital transfers.
Expenditures
Investments

in the production process, but not or only partly used in a particular
period. Included are goods with a lifetime of more than one year (e.g.
buildings, houses, machinery, vehicles), services directly related to the
product (like cost of preparation, design, supervision and transfer of
property), a limited number of intangible assets (e.g. computer software,
the acquisition of patents), the purchase of valuable assets (antiques and
other art objects) and the purchase of land.
Construction civil engineering works
Construction and capacity extension of civil engineering works, e.g.
roads, dikes, quays, waterways, ports, locks, railroads.
