Abstract: In this brief document we would like to give our point of view about the importance to promote and consolidate an economic indicator of sustainability and suggest Genuine Savings, an indicator in which an increasing number of scholars and institutions are working on. Without hiding the complexity of sustainable development, we believe that consolidating one indicator could help to understand the performance of societies and align actions in order for countries to be in a sustainable path. Moreover, Genuine Savings could help understand sustainability in the long run and could work as an indicator of future well-being.
