Table explanation


Fixed capital formation by groups of provinces, province and COROP region.
This table concerns regional figures on fixed capital formation (gross) by type of capital good.
The regional figures are in accordance with the national accounts, figures on gross fixed capital formation from production and imports (so, excluding sales of existing assets).

The new Standard Industrial Classification 2008 (SIC 2008) is used in the National and Regional Accounts of the Netherlands. This code is based on the European classification Nomenclature générale des Activités économiques dans la Communauté Européenne (NACE Rev. 2) which is used in all Member States of the European Union.
It is in use for the year 2008 onwards.

Data available from: 1995.

Status of the figures:
The figures of the years 1995 to 2023 are final.

Correction as of 22 April 2026:
Figures for 2023 for Industrial buildings, Civil engineering, Transport, Machinery and equipment, Cultivated biological resources, Transfer costs of grounds, Computer software and databases, Research and development, and Other fixed assets have been adjusted due to a mix-up of figures between asset types.


When will new figures be published?
New final data will be published in December 2026.

Fixed cap. form. by type of capital good
Fixed capital formation by type of capital good.
Research and development
Consists of the value of expenditure on creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications. The value is determined in terms of the economic benefits expected in the future. Unless the value can be reasonably estimated it is, by convention, valued as the sum of the costs, including those of unsuccessful research and development. Research and development that will not provide a benefit to the owner is not classified as an asset and is instead recorded as intermediate consumption.
