- 1. Except for the figures in brackets, which include leased assets, the table excludes expenditure on assets leased to manufacturers from the financial industries, since this information is not available for net domestic fixed capital formation nor, before 1975, for gross domestic fixed capital formation. Prior to 1975 finance leasing to manufacturers is thought to have been small or negligible.
- 2. Figures of net domestic fixed capital formation for 1986 are not yet available.
