About this indicator

This is the year-on-year change in the total value of goods and services a state produces, measured at current prices, so it blends real expansion of activity with the effect of rising prices. It is useful for comparing the raw size of the economy and tax-base growth, but a high nominal rate can simply reflect high inflation. To judge genuine economic momentum, read it alongside the real growth figure, which strips inflation out.
