Methodology for determining investment amount in fixed assets, including hidden and informal activities

Chapter 1. General provisions

      1. This Methodology for determining investment amount in fixed assets, including hidden and informal activities (hereinafter referred to as the Methodology), refers to a statistical methodology formed in accordance with international standards and approved in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated March 19, 2010 “On State Statistics” (hereinafter referred to as the - the Law).

      2. The methodology shall determine the main approaches to the calculation of statistical indicator of investment amount in fixed assets, including hidden and informal economy on the basis of data of nationwide statistical observations, administrative sources and economic calculations.

      3. The methodology shall be used in statistical activities by employees of the Committee on Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter - the Committee).

      4. The methodology developed including the principles of the System of National Accounts 2008 (hereinafter - the SNA).

Chapter 2. Determining investment amount in fixed assets, including the assessment of hidden and informal activities

      5. Determination of investment amount in fixed assets, including the assessment of hidden and informal activities, shall be carried out by a combined method based on data of nationwide statistical observation, information from administrative sources and economic calculations used to determine capital expenditures not observed by nationwide statistical observations.

      The hidden sector shall be defined as "activities being within the scope of production in the SNA and shall be legal (subject to certain standards and regulatory requirements), they are hidden from the bodies of state administration.

      The informal sector is an informal production activity of enterprises that not registered in tax authorities.

      6. The investment amount in fixed assets, including hidden and informal activities, shall be determined by the following technological structure:

      expenditures for construction and installation;

      expenditures for acquiring machinery, equipment, vehicles, tools;

      other costs in the investment amount in fixed capital.

      Distribution of estimated amounts of hidden and informal investment activity shall be carried out according to the detailed structure of assets.

Section 1. Determination of the cost for construction and installation work, including hidden and informal sector

      7. The calculation of costs for construction shall be based on nationwide statistical observations and special calculation algorithms.

      When calculating the issue of new construction, information shall be used on investments in fixed capital, aimed at carrying out construction and installation works and other capital works and costs included in cost of construction products.

      The calculation shall be carried out on the basis of nationwide statistical observations data on investments in fixed capital and commissioning of facilities by individual developers (administrative data of state authorities for architectural and construction control and local executive bodies for architecture and urban planning).

      The parameters of hidden and informal activities include:

      underestimation of the cost of individual houses of the population compared to the actual costs of its construction;

      growth of investment in fixed assets for sold newly built residential buildings;

      lowering the cost of construction of non-residential buildings and structures by individuals.

      8. The size of underestimation of costs of individual houses per month shall be determined by the difference between costs of building individual houses per month and its costs, obtained as a result of nationwide statistical observation of commissioning of objects by individual developers:

     

(1)

      where:

     

– size of underestimation of costs of individual houses per month;

     

– costs of building individual houses per month;

     

– cost of individual houses, obtained as a result of nationwide statistical observation of the commissioning of facilities by individual developers.

      The cost of construction of individual houses per month shall be determined by the following formula:

     


      where:

     

– costs of building individual houses per month;

     

– average total area of individual houses per month;

     

– average actual costs for construction of one square meter of the total area of residential buildings built by individual developers.

      The average total area of individual residential buildings for month shall be calculated based on the data of nationwide statistical observation of the start of construction and installation work on notifications and permits, by dividing the total area of residential houses according to permits submitted to individual developers by the average duration of the process of building houses by individual developers (determined by calculation, including the norms of the duration of construction of residential buildings).

      The average actual construction costs of one square meter of the total area of residential buildings built by the population shall be defined as the sum of the actual costs incurred by individual developers per one square meter of the total area of all residential buildings completed during the reporting month, regardless of the construction date, degree of comfort and number of floors.

      Estimated size of the underestimation of the cost of individual houses for the month shall be referred to the costs of construction and installation work performed on residential buildings.

      9. The increase in investment in sold newly built residential buildings per month shall be calculated on the basis of data on the total area of housing sold to the population per month, the average actual cost of building one square meter of total area of residential buildings and the sale price of one square meter of total area of residential buildings in the primary market by the following formula:

     

3)

      where:

     

– Increase in investment in sold newly built residential buildings per month;

     

– total area of housing sold to the population per month;

     

– sale price of one square meter of total area of residential buildings in the primary market;

     

– average actual construction costs of one square meter of the total area of residential buildings.

      The calculation shall be performed with the use of data generated from the results of nationwide statistical observations on the registration of housing prices and the commissioning of facilities, as well as data on the calculation of the total area of housing sold to the population for the month, based on data on the number of housing purchase transactions and housing data stock.

      The growth of investments in sold newly built residential buildings per month shall be calculated separately for individual houses and apartments in apartment buildings.

      By species structure, the growth of investments in sold newly built residential buildings shall be referred to the cost of construction and installation work on residential buildings.

      10. The underestimation of the cost of construction of non-residential buildings by individuals for month shall be determined on the basis of statistical data on commissioning of facilities by individual developers and shall be determined by the difference between the costs of constructing non-residential buildings for a month and their cost, obtained as a result of nationwide statistical observation on commissioning of facilities by individual developers.

      To determine the cost of construction of non-residential buildings for the month, the actual costs of the construction of main buildings shall be adjusted for the term of their construction (calculated including the norms of the duration of the construction of non-residential buildings):

     

4)

      where:

     

– cost of construction of non-residential buildings for the month by individuals;

     

– cost of construction of non-residential buildings by individuals, obtained as a result of nationwide statistical observation of the commissioning of facilities by individual developers;

     

– average duration of construction.

      The underestimation cost of construction of non-residential buildings by individuals for the month shall be calculated by the formula:

     

5)

      where:

     

– the magnitude of the underestimation cost of construction of non-residential buildings by individuals for a month;

     

– cost of construction of non-residential buildings for the month by individuals;

     

– the cost of construction of non-residential buildings by individuals, obtained as a result of nationwide statistical observation of the commissioning of facilities by individual developers.

      The value of underestimation cost of construction of non-residential buildings by individuals for a month shall be included in amount of costs for construction and installation work on non-residential buildings.

      11. The size of underestimation cost of construction of buildings by individuals for the month shall be determined similarly, based on data on the costs of construction of buildings, adjusted for the average construction time, and the cost of facilities of nationwide statistical observations of commissioning facilities by individual developers.

      The estimated amount of underestimation cost of construction of buildings for the month shall be referred to cost of construction and installation work performed on the structures.

Section 2. Determining cost of acquisition of machinery, equipment, vehicles and tools, including hidden and informal sectors of economy

      12. The amount of costs for purchasing machinery, equipment, vehicles and tools shall be formed by summing up the reporting data obtained from the results of nationwide statistical observation and the estimated costs of hidden and informal sector of economy.

      14. The costs of hidden and informal sector for purchasing machinery, equipment, vehicles and tools under financial leasing contracts shall be determined by the difference in the estimated value of the costs for purchasing machinery and equipment and amount of costs recorded by the national statistical observation.

      Costs for purchasing machinery, equipment and vehicles under financial leasing contracts shall be calculated using ratio of amount of received leasing payments and amount of investments for purchasing machinery, equipment and vehicles.

      According to the data on financial leasing contracts submitted by organizations operating in the field of leasing, obtained as a result of nationwide statistical observation of leasing activities, by formula the ratio shall be:

     

, (8)

      where:

     

– ratio of amount of received leasing payments and amount of investments for purchasing machinery, equipment and vehicles;

     

– amount of received leasing payments on financial leasing;
