INVESTMENT EXPENDITURES Expenditures made by the business sector on final goods and services, or gross domestic product, especially the purchase of productive capital goods. Investment expenditures play a central role in macroeconomic activity affecting both short-run business cycles and long-run economic growth.

These are one of four expenditures on gross domestic product. The other three are consumption expenditures, government purchases, and net exports.
