What is GDP and how is it calculated?
GDP, or gross domestic product, is a measure of the total value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, typically a financial year.
It is calculated by adding up the value of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports (exports minus imports). This calculation provides an overall picture of a country's economic activity and helps economists and policymakers analyse economic growth and development.
