GDP is a measure of gross internal product, produced in the country as a whole for the year and divided by the population. This is the main indicator economic development or how rich or poor country. Moreover, it is an indicator that smoothes out both the scale of different states and seasonal, current market fluctuations.

We try to provide fresh and accurate information. Please note that if the user wants to independently clarify, update or double-check data for countries of the world, the differences should be taken into account:

1. Calculation methods. In many countries, a similar indicator is preferred - “gross national product”. GNP adjusts for the fact that reporting corporations are typically headquartered in some countries and have their main turnover in other countries.
2. Local features. In the US, the influence comes from intellectual property, whose production figures are estimated to be inflated. In small trading countries, GDP is significantly affected by the dollar volume of services, which is sensitive to exchange rates.
3. Political situation. China and Indochina tend to constantly understate their GDP and smooth out trends in its change. And the CIA's review of The World Factbook underestimates the indicators of countries condemned by the State Department, and overestimates the indicators of countries dependent on the United States.
4. Difference purchasing power parity. Depends on the real and official dollar exchange rate, internal and external exchange rate differences.

Draw your own conclusions.

GDP is gross domestic product. If we talk in simple words, then this is an indicator of the cost of goods and services produced by a particular state . These are all products and services produced in the state, which are expressed in monetary equivalent. This indicator is often expressed in US dollars due to the fact that the US dollar is one of the most stable currencies peace.

Today there are two types of GDP:

• Nominal is the total volume of products and services produced, measured in current prices, that is, in values ​​that are relevant today.
• Real GDP is the total volume of goods and services produced over a certain period of time, measured in basic values. Basic costs are called constant prices.

The difference between nominal and real GDP is that real GDP can only be affected by changes in the volume of goods produced. While the change in indicator nominal GDP directly affects the price of products and services sold.

The ratio of the nominal to the real indicator in the economy is called the GDP deflator.

In other words, the deflator is an indicator of the difference in the general level of values ​​in an economic sector.

We divide the total volume of GDP by the number of citizens living in the state.
