1993 SNA Update Information - Military expenditures |
| Issue description | | Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish] | | The 1993 SNA divides military acquisitions into offensive weapons and their means of delivery, and all
other. The former are excluded from capital formation regardless of their life length. This treatment implies
that “defence” is not a service provided by government using military hardware as associated assets.
Further, weapons that have already been expensed can actually be taken out of stock for use or for exports
and would have to be balanced by a negative component in government final consumption. Should the line
between gross capital formation and intermediate consumption be drawn differently? |
