Back to Basics
What is GDP?
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a specific period.
Whether it’s a T-shirt from Tiruppur or a tech service from Bengaluru. If it’s made inside the country, it counts.
Think of GDP as a country’s economic scorecard.
Rising GDP? More jobs, better income, healthier markets. Falling GDP? Slower economy, cautious investors, tighter spending.
But here’s the catch: GDP doesn’t show who is getting richer, how people feel, or what it’s costing the planet.
It’s big, it’s important, but it’s not the full picture.
