Abstract

In France, the gross investment rate of non-financial corporations is trending upwards, and was half a percentage point higher in 2016 than its previous peak of 2007-2008. However, after deducting capital depreciation, the net investment rate, which corresponds to the increase in productive capital, was one percentage point lower than its 2008 peak and equivalent to its mid-2000s level. The acceleration in depreciation stems from the increase in both capital per unit produced and in the average depreciation rate, which is itself linked to the greater share of intangible assets in investment. En France, le taux d’investissement brut des sociétés non financières est sur une tendance ascendante, d’un demi-point supérieur en 2016 au pic précédent de 2007-2008. Toutefois, après déduction de la dépréciation du capital, le taux d’investissement net, concept qui correspond à l’accroissement du capital utilisable pour la production, est inférieur d’un point au pic de 2008 et au niveau du milieu des années 2000. La progression de la dépréciation provient de l’augmentation à la fois du capital par unité produite et du taux de dépréciation moyen, elle-même liée au poids plus important de l’immatériel dans l’investissement.
