Key Concepts

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

GDP represents the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country over a specific period and serves as a primary indicator of an economy's health and size.

Expenditure Approach

This method for calculating GDP sums various components of spending in the economy, namely consumption, business investment, government expenditures, and net exports, to measure overall economic activity.

Consumption Spending

Consumption spending is the total expenditure by households on goods and services, which usually forms the largest component of GDP and is a key driver of demand in the economy.

Business Investment

Business investment includes spending on capital goods such as machinery and buildings that improve a company's production capacity, playing a vital role in economic growth.

Government Spending

Government spending accounts for expenditures by government bodies on goods and services, including investments in public infrastructure and services, contributing directly to GDP.

Net Exports

Net exports are calculated as the difference between a country's exports and imports, reflecting the impact of international trade on GDP; positive values indicate a trade surplus while negative values indicate a trade deficit.
