Definition(s)

  • Investment has been defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as all assets owned or controlled by an investor, either directly or indirectly. Investment in a national economy, business, or household tends to be portrayed as a progressive and prudent activity for the future, to be contrasted with consumption, which is often seen as the use or squandering of scarce resources for imprudent and short-term gratification.
