II. Cost of initial capital equipment upgrade

We have significantly lower capital costs in our plant equipment.

Also, the Integrated Industrial Capital Allowance (IICA) allows companies to claim capital allowances for approved expenditure on plant and equipment used in overseas subsidiaries.

From this distinction follows an important fiscal rule governments current spending should normally be balanced by taxation. To this extent, efforts nowadays to reduce deficits on current spending are justified, but only if they are fully replaced by capital spending programs.

The airport project and road development together will account for 82.6 per cent of total capital spending in 2004.

However, barring any major economic bumps, the changes will have a positive impact, as capital allocation becomes more efficient. Increased emphasis on household lending should also create a better balance in the economy between capital spending and consumer spending than was possible during the expansion of 2002 2004.

China can purchase more industrial machinery, transport equipment, and steelmaking material, which are among its leading imports from the US. Directing spending toward imports of capital equipment would avoid overheating China s own markets, boost the economy s productive capacity (and thus its ability to grow in the future), and support demand for US, European, and Japanese products just when such support is needed most.

Capital account regulations can provide space for more active counter cyclical policies to smooth spending and improve external debt profiles of developing countries.

The impact of these measures is evidenced primarily over time as equipment, buildings and other capital stock is turned over.

In addition, a non recurrent amount of 100,000 would be required for capital equipment upgrade, as proposed in the study.

At just over 10 of GDP, the share of capital spending is well below the peak of nearly 13 in 2000. But capital spending must exceed that peak if US businesses are to be equipped with state of the art capacity, technology, and private infrastructure that will enable them to recapture market share at home and abroad.

That is why quantitative easing should be run in conjunction with a eurozone wide investment program designed to modernize the creaking infrastructure of eastern and southern Europe. Capital spending by governments, unlike current spending, can be self financing through user charges.

Deficits resulting from capital spending, by contrast, are or can be good. If wisely administered, such spending produces a revenue stream that services and eventually extinguishes the debt more importantly, it raises productivity, and thus improves a country s long run growth potential.

This has allowed enterprises, including SMEs, to replace other forms of capital and labour with information technology equipment, thus driving down overall costs.

In addition, there would be a further requirement of 100,000 for capital equipment upgrade, which would increase the cost for the first year to 4,004,400.

Defence procurement in our region aims basically at the replacement of obsolete equipment. Frequently, even effective participation in United Nations peacekeeping operations requires some increase in military related spending, such as is the case, for instance, with logistic equipment in support of lengthy deployment overseas.

The explanation is not capital spending, which is normally linked to productivity growth. There have been no major differences between the US and the large euro zone economies here.

Business capital includes private companies factories, machines, transport equipment, and information systems. Infrastructure includes roads, railways, power and water systems, fiber optics, pipelines, and airports and seaports.

New equipment would not be installed at Headquarters until it was determined whether the final version of the Capital Master Plan would involve a relocation of staff.

For ease of classification, these assets have been grouped into 12 categories of equipment presented in standard peacekeeping operation budgets prefabricated buildings, communications equipment, office equipment, electronic data processing equipment, generators, petrol tank plus metering equipment, water and septic tanks, accommodation equipment, refrigeration equipment, miscellaneous equipment, field defence equipment and water purification equipment.

The expert group considered that with limited resources available, UNDCP should not become involved in the provision of assistance in the form of capital intensive equipment such as vessels.

Provision is made for miscellaneous equipment, such as air conditioners, photographic equipment, engineering equipment, fire fighting equipment, replacement tools and other equipment ( 68,000, inclusive of freight costs).

As part of a separate project to improve solid waste management in all camps in Lebanon, procurement of capital equipment, including compactor trucks, dumpers and matching containers, was under way.
