GDP growth

Output increase rate

GDP growth is the rate at which a country's gross domestic product increases over time, typically measured as a percentage change from one period to the next.

It serves as a primary indicator of economic health—positive growth suggests expansion, while negative growth (contraction) may signal recession.

The economy posted 3% GDP growth last quarter.
