Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the annualized change in the inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy. It is the broadest measure of economic activity and serves as the primary indicator of an economy's overall health and growth rate. A rising GDP indicates a growing economy, which often leads to increased corporate earnings and stronger consumer spending. Central banks closely monitor this figure to determine whether the economy requires stimulus or cooling through interest rate adjustments.
Calculated by summing the total value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders over a specific year. It can be measured using the expenditure approach, production approach, or income approach.
