We get a basic idea of the importance of this generator by measuring its turnover – that is, how many monetary units of sales are generated from one monetary unit of capital employed. At the same time, it is advisable to monitor the structure of capital employed – what is the amount of fixed assets and what is the net working capital. The capital employed turnover shows considerable variation among the EU-27 countries. The lowest values are reached by Ireland (0.732 in 2018), followed by Germany (0.827 in 2018) and Lithuania (1.519 in 2018). Sales generating in these countries is the most demanding on investment. On the other hand, the highest turnover of capital employed has in the long run been achieved by France (5,785 in 2018), Slovakia (4,306
