=== What is GDP? ===
== Recent ==


[http://amerimetrics.com/index.php?title=Glossary_of_Common_Terms#:~:text=gross%20domestic%20product-,gross%20domestic%20product,-(GDP)%20%2D%2D%20The ''Gross domestic product''], or '''GDP''', is the most widely accepted measurement of the health of a nation's economy.
=== Five Year Quarterly Real GDP ===
It is comprised of four components:
<html lang="en">
# consumption (C) -- represents private-consumption expenditures by households and nonprofit organizations
<body>
# investment (I) -- refers to business expenditures by businesses and home purchases by households
<iframe width="925" height="700" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://1drv.ms/x/c/8dfedc7a762e3fd5/IQTIaoWvQt9gQaPZ98d_Af8_AfplLAPATvVuZlUjcMGh7jE?em=2&wdAllowInteractivity=False&Item=GDP_Qtr_5Yr_Cht&wdDownloadButton=True&wdInConfigurator=True&wdInConfigurator=True&edaebf=rslc0"></iframe>
# government spending (G) -- denotes expenditures on goods and services by the government
</body>
# net exports (NX) -- represents a nation’s exports minus its imports
</html>
These components can be referred to in '''nominal''' or '''real terms.'''  ''Real'' terms are nominal measurements adjusted for inflation.  This is critical for comparing growth from one year to the next ([http://amerimetrics.com/index.php?title=Glossary_of_Common_Terms#:~:text=Britannica-,YOY,-%2D%2D%20means%20year%20over '''YOY''' or '''YOY Δ''']).  For example, if GDP increased from 100 in 2020 to 110 in 2021, at first glance it looks like GDP increased by 10% YOY.  If inflation was 5% YOY, however, then ''real GDP growth'' was actually only 5%.


The below table show's a real example (in billions of US $):
