Non-investment product

Investment is spending that has the potential to expand the capacity of the economy directly.

Non-investment transactions and products are ones which do not do this directly. Non-investment transactions may nevertheless support productive investment indirectly, by enabling the flow of funds into, and within, the financial system.
