Explanation

Capital formation: This refers to the net increase in the capital stock of a country, which includes physical capital (machinery, buildings) and human capital (skills, education).

High savings: A high savings economy implies people are saving a significant portion of their income. Ideally, these savings are then invested to create new capital.
