What is National Savings?

It is a concept studied in economics. Saving means something kept from being used for instance, if a person earns an amount of 10 rupees, he keep 2 rupees aside from being used we call it those 2 rupees saving of that person. Whereas on aggregate level the concept of National savings describes the sum of private and public savings in an economy as a whole.

GDP is national income. We can deduce the national savings from the formula GDP is used to calculate.
So, Y= National income, I= Investment, C= Consumption, G= Government Expenditure.

GDP or Y= C+I+G

National Savings = Y-C-G = I

The amount of money saved is equal to the amount of money invested in a closed economy. Gross domestic savings (% of GDP) in Pakistan was last measured at 9.37 in 2011, according to the World Bank.

What are determinants of Savings?

1. Demographic Factors (dependent and aging sections of population)
2. Consumerism (spending more)
3. Income Level (as high incomes are associated with high savings)
4. Public Finance (the more the govt: expenditure the less is the saving)
5. Economic Uncertainty
6. Inflation, interest rates and other business cycle fluctuations
   Concept of opportunity cost and diminishing marginal returns and many other concepts on individual level determine the rate of savings.

Keep it updating. Corrections are welcomed.

I am not much sure but generally there are 2 types of economic theories:

Microeconomics:
1-Market Structures (Monopoly, Competition, Supply, Demand, Price, Equilibrium Analysis)
2-Production Theories (Fixed Cost, Opportunity Cost, Variable Cost, Mass scale economy, Production Possibility Frontier, Scarcity, Comparative Advantage, Small scale vs large scale production, Absolute advantage, Capital cost)
3- Game theory (uncertainty, imperfect information, Information asymmetry, moral hazard, laws of contract, principle agent theory)- Pretty advanced this topic is, might not come
4- Market failure, government failure, externalities..

Macroeconomics
1- Growth, GDP, GNI, National Income, Savings main concepts
2- Business cycle: Circular flow of income, Aggregate supply, Aggregate demand and Unemployment
3-Inflation and Monetary Policy
4- Fiscal Policy
5- Public finance, welfare choices etc.


Note: These are more or less what we studied in our Economics classes in BBA Honors and then I did a course in development economics as well. I extracted this index from Wikipedia, but it appears quite comprehensive. Do not know to which depth does NTS want to go in their test.
