What is GDP?
GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product and it is a monetary measure of the market value of all the final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific period, usually a quarter or a year.
A rising GDP suggests a growing economy, while a falling GDP indicates economic contraction. GDP is often used to rank countries by their economic size.
