Metadonnées

Gross domestic product (GDP) is an aggregate measure of production, income and expenditure of an economy. The GDP figures presented in this section are usually calculated from the expenditure side. As an expenditure measure, it depicts the sum of expenditure on final consumption, gross capital formation (i.e., investment, changes in inventories, and acquisitions less disposals of valuables) and exports after deduction of imports.

All GDP growth is expressed in real terms.
