Having looked at the glossaries I'm not so sure that any of the terms suggested are suitable in my context.Could anyone suggest an equivalent term in English? The term appears in the following sentence and refers to capital investment by local authorities. " Tali investimenti. inoltre, oltre a prevedere tempi lunghi di ammortamento, sono volti alla costruzione di strutture che necessitano di manutenzione.
Thanks in advance,

Depreciation
The concept of depreciation is really pretty simple. For example, let’s say you purchase a truck for your business. The truck loses value the minute you drive it out of the dealership. The truck is considered an operational asset in running your business. Each year that you own the truck, it loses some value, until the truck finally stops running and has no value to the business. Measuring the loss in value of an asset is known as depreciation.
Depreciation is considered an expense and is listed in an income statement under expenses. In addition to vehicles that may be used in your business, you can depreciate office furniture, office equipment, any buildings you own, and machinery you use to manufacture products.
