Understanding GDP: The Comprehensive Measure of Economic Activity

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders over a specific period, typically annually. It highlights total income and expenditure in the economy. GDP accounts for consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports, calculated using the formula C + I + G + X. Distinctions between real and nominal GDP are crucial; real GDP adjusts for inflation using constant prices, while nominal GDP reflects current prices and potential fluctuations in output or price.
