Produced Capital in Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Trinidad and Tobago

The document analyzes produced capital—the value of human-made assets—in Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Trinidad and Tobago, noting that levels remain low compared to developed nations and are concentrated in few sectors. It highlights a critical need for increased investment in renewable energy and agriculture to meet climate and food security goals, while noting that a lack of regular measurement by national statistical offices hinders policy-making.

• Produced capital levels in Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Trinidad and Tobago have grown steadily since 1995 but remain low relative to developed countries and are concentrated in a small number of sectors.
• To meet their food security and climate ambitions, these three countries need further investments in agriculture and renewable energy.
• Policy-makers in these countries lack visibility regarding produced capital challenges because national statistical offices do not regularly measure produced capital or general wealth.
