About this indicator

Source	Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)
Frequency	Trimestral
Release	Ultimo jueves de febrero/mayo/agosto/noviembre aprox. (calendario ABS)
What it is	Measures quarterly investment by Australian private businesses in buildings and structures and in equipment, plant and machinery. Published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), it is a key gauge of business investment feeding into GDP.
How it's calculated	Drawn from the quarterly Private New Capital Expenditure and Expected Expenditure survey covering private firms across most industries (excluding agriculture and some financial services). Figures are chain-volume, seasonally adjusted, with the quarter-on-quarter change most closely watched.
Market implications	A sustained rise points to expanding productive capacity and firmer business confidence, supporting GDP growth. The Reserve Bank of Australia watches it to gauge the non-mining investment cycle, and a strong reading tends to lift the Australian dollar and yields.
Limitations	It covers only the private sector (excluding public investment) and is prone to large quarter-to-quarter revisions given its survey basis. The release also carries expected-spending estimates that can diverge from actual outlays.
