GDP growth

How much more an economy produced than the year before, after inflation.

GDP growth is the yearly percentage change in a country's GDP after removing the effect of price changes, so it shows how much more the economy really produced than the year before. The World Bank computes it from national accounts at constant 2015 prices. A negative value means the economy shrank, as it did in many countries in 2020.

About the author

Hello there, I’m Klaus Jürgen Folz. I studied Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in Brazil, and I work in Austria as a lead Python and Power BI developer. I built Data Mechanics because good decisions start with facts. Public data is often scattered, hard to find or locked behind paywalls, and too much of what we read about the world is biased. Here, every number is shown as it was published, next to its source, so anyone can check it, compare countries and leaders, and draw their own conclusions.
