Why this indicator matters
सकल बचत दिखाती है कि राष्ट्रीय संपत्ति का कितना हिस्सा देश उपभोग करने के बजाय अलग रखता है। इससे अर्थव्यवस्थाओं की अपनी सड़कों, कारखानों और आवासों को खुद वित्त देने की क्षमता की तुलना होती है।
What makes this indicator vary
यह आय, परिवारों की बचत की आदतों, कंपनियों के मुनाफ़े और सरकार के बजट पर निर्भर करती है। यह अक्सर उन देशों में अधिक होती है जो कच्चा माल निर्यात करते हैं या जहाँ बचत की मज़बूत संस्कृति है, और वहाँ कम जहाँ उपभोग हावी है।
Reading precautions
संकेतक परिवारों, कंपनियों और सरकार की बचत को अलग किए बिना एक साथ जोड़ देता है। ऊँची बचत इस बात की गारंटी नहीं कि वह अच्छी तरह निवेश हो: सब कुछ इस पर निर्भर है कि उसका उपयोग कैसे होता है।
