A country’s gross domestic product (GDP) measures the size of its economy. GDP is generally defined as the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. Many economists follow movements in GDP growth rates to assess how quickly or slowly an economy is growing or contracting. GDP is measured with inflation (nominal) and without inflation (real).
