GDP is the Gross Domestic Product produced within the country’s borders in a specific period. GDP is calculated on an annual and quarterly basis. Global GDP is the total market value of all the finished goods produced in the country. GDP functions as a scorecard for the economic health of the country. Our government releases GDP for every quarter and the entire year. The data sets will be given in real terms.
