Real GDP growth
Annual change in economic output, adjusted for price changes.
How to read it
Read this alongside inflation, employment and the previous year’s base. A rebound after a contraction can generate a large growth rate without indicating that the economy has fully recovered.
What it does not tell you
Growth is a rate, not the size of an economy. Compare annual growth with annual growth; quarterly and annualized figures are different measures.
