This indicator measures the impact of the trade balance (exports minus imports) on the overall growth of a country's Gross Domestic Product. A positive contribution occurs when export growth exceeds import growth, adding to the total economic output. It is a critical component for understanding whether economic growth is driven by domestic demand or international trade performance.
Calculated by taking the change in net exports (Exports - Imports) and determining its percentage contribution to the total GDP growth rate for the period.
