Economic Growth (GDP, annual variation in %)
GDP, short for Gross Domestic Product, is defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period. It includes private and public consumption, private and public investment, and exports less imports.
GDP is the most commonly used measure of economic activity and serves as a good indicator to track the economic health of a country. Economic growth (GDP growth) refers to the percent change in real GDP, which corrects the nominal GDP figure for inflation. Real GDP is therefore also referred to as inflation-adjusted GDP or GDP in constant prices.
The table below shows the percent changes in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per country for the last five years.
