Introduction

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a measure of a country’s national economic output. It measures the total value of goods and services in the economy, regardless of who produced them. Nominal GDP refers to the value of goods and services at their current prices. Real GDP, on the other hand, adjusts for inflation, providing a more accurate measure of the economy's output. Real GDP is often used to compare economic growth and development between countries over time.
