Description topics

Capital stock opening balance sheet
The opening balance sheet is the balance sheet on 1 January of the accounting year, measured in average prices of the previous year. The opening balance sheet equals the closing balance sheet of the previous year.
Changes in capital stock
This item shows the changes in the market value of the capital stock in one year. The closing balance sheet of a year equals the opening balance sheet of that year including the sum of all changes.
Revaluation
The change in value of the capital stock due to price changes. The revaluation is determined by multiplying the net capital stock on the opening balance sheet with the price changes in the current reporting year relative to the previous reporting year.
Invest. in fixed assets prod. and import
Investment in fixed assets from production and imports. Concerns total investments in fixed assets (gross), excluding the sale of used assets.
Depreciation (-)
The loss of value of the capital stock that is the consequence of foreseeable technological and economic obsolescence and insurable damage (like fire and theft). Capital goods are for example buildings, transport equipment and software.
Trade and other changes
Other changes in volume consist of the depreciation of cattle due to ageing and other changes in volume. Other changes in volume consist of the consequences of extraordinary unexpected events to non-financial assets, for example, a loss in value or even destruction of non-financial assets due to floods or war damage. The re-classification of firms to another sector (for example through mergers or subdivision of firms) is also part of ‘other changes in volume’.
Statistical discrepancy
A statistical discrepancy appears when the closing balance sheet of non-financial assets does not correspond to the opening balance sheet and the changes in non-financial assets. Statistical discrepancies arise during a benchmark revision because the capital stock is determined at a point in time when investment data are still provisional. This makes it impossible to create mutually consistent statistics.
Capital stock closing balance sheet
The closing balance sheet is the balance sheet on 31 December of the reporting year, measured in average prices of that particular year. The closing balance sheet equals the opening balance sheet of the next reporting year.
