nominal GDP

Current-dollar national product

Nominal GDP is a country's gross domestic product measured in current prices, without adjusting for inflation.

It reflects the total value of goods and services produced using the prices that prevailed during the measurement period.

Economists contrast nominal GDP with real GDP, which strips out price changes to show actual growth in economic output: Nominal GDP rose 7%, but real GDP grew only 3% after accounting for inflation.
