What is GDP? How it is measured?
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the most commonly used indicator of national
income.
It attempts to measure the sum of incomes received by the various wealth-creating sectors
of the economy, from manufacturing and retail to agriculture and service industries.
Gross Domestic Product or GDP is the monetary value of all the finished goods and
services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, though GDP is
usually calculated on an annual basis. It includes all of private and public consumption,
government outlays, investments and exports less imports that occur within a defined
territory.
GDP=C+G+I+NX
where:-
"NX" is the nation's total net exports, calculated as total exports minus total imports.
(NX = Exports - Imports).
Gross Domestic Product or GDP is the monetary value of all the finished goods and
services produced within a country including the income earned by the people abroad and
deducting the income earned by the foreigners in the country.
GDP = Total income (i.e. total monetary value of finished goods and services of a
country) +income earned by the people of the country in abroad - income earned by the
foreigners in the country.
