What is GDP???

Answer Posted / abhishek mittal

The gross domestic product (GDP) is one the primary
indicators used to gauge the health of a country's economy.
It represents the total dollar value of all goods and
services produced over a specific time period - you can
think of it as the size of the economy. Usually, GDP is
expressed as a comparison to the previous quarter or year.
For example, if the year-to-year GDP is up 3%, this is
thought to mean that the economy has grown by 3% over the
last year.
