Flow
A stock variable measures a variable at a specific point in time, for example the amount of foreign direct investment at the moment in a specific country. This variable is only denominated in terms of a currency. A flow variable on the other hand looks at the measure of a variable over a period of time, for example the GDP of a country as this variable looks not only at a fiscal amount but also also a time amount (in this case the amount of money spent in the economy over the course of a year).

Investment spending is a flow variable. It denotes the amount of money spent on purchasing new physical capital or increasing the stock of existing capital during a particular period of time, typically a year. It is different from the stock variable, which represents the total accumulation of physical capital at a given point in time.
