    "additionalInfo": "Government Expenditure, as defined in the Government Finance Statistics framework, equals Expense plus Net Investment in Non-financial Assets, and are grouped according to the COFOG categories. Expense are those transactions that imply a decrease of the net worth. Net acquisition of non-financial assets, instead, are those transactions that affect the stock of non-financial assets without changing the net worth. Credit to Agriculture refers to the amount of loans provided by the private/commercial banking sector to producers in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, including household producers, cooperatives, and agro-businesses.Official Development Assistance are those flows to countries and territories which are provided by official agencies, including state and local governments, or by their executive agencies; and each transaction of which: is administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective; and is concessional in character and conveys a grant element of at least 25 per cent (calculated at a rate of discount of 10 per cent).\u201dForeign Direct Investment is an investment which aims to acquire a lasting management influence (10 percent or more of the voting stock) in an enterprise operating in a foreign economy. FDI involves both the initial transaction between the two entities and all subsequent transactions between them and among affiliated enterprises, both incorporated and unincorporated. FDI may be undertaken by individuals, as well as business entities. The foreign direct investor most often is aiming to gain access to natural resources, to markets, to labour supply, to technology, to ensure security of supplies or to control the quality of a certain product. Value added represents the contribution of labour and capital to the production process. Gross value added at basic prices is defined as output valued at basic prices less intermediate consumption valued at purchasers\u2019 prices. Although the outputs and inputs are valued using different sets of prices, for brevity the value added is described by the prices used to value the outputs. From the point of view of the producer, purchasers\u2019 prices for inputs and basic prices for outputs represent the prices actually paid and received. Their use leads to a measure of gross value added that is particularly relevant for the producer. Net value added is defined as the value of output less the values of both intermediate consumption and consumption of fixed capital.Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) - the total value of a producer\u2019s acquisitions, less disposals, of fixed assets during the accounting period plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets (such as subsoil assets or major improvements in the quantity, quality or productivity of land) realized by the productive activity of institutional units.",
