Methodological explanations

The data presented in this statistical release are the result of “Annual survey on investments in fixed assets” (INV-01). The reporting units exclusively refer to legal entities that are direct investors (excluded are investments of unincorporated enterprises and physical persons).

The main aim of the survey is informing on investments activity, i.e. purchase and construction of fixed assets in the country. The survey also presents one of data sources for the GDP calculation by expenditure approach. For the needs of calculation of investments as aggregate of GDP use (i.e. gross investments in fixed assets), as well as for the creation of capital account, additional calculations are carried out (intellectual property, production for household final consumption, military systems and other categories of fixed assets not covered by this survey).

Total fixed assets can be categorized as new and already used (second-hand). Investments that are the aggregate of GDP use, apart from new fixed assets include also second-hand fixed assets purchased from abroad, as they contribute to increased total capital goods in the country. Transactions within the country (purchase and sale of second-hand fixed assets) are mutually annulled, except in the section referring to ownership transfer costs.

Starting from 1999 the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia has not at disposal and may not provide available certain data relative to AP Kosovo and Metohija; therefore, these data are not included in the coverage for the Republic of Serbia (total).
