Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an estimation of the total value of finished goods and services produced within a country’s borders in a specific period, typically a year. It is commonly used to gauge the size of a country’s economy and its impact on the global economy. GDP is usually measured by the expenditure method, which adds up spending on new consumer goods, new investment spending, government spending, and the value of net exports. Nominal GDP in current US dollars is the most widely used method to measure and compare GDP between countries. It involves converting local prices and currencies into US dollars using currency market exchange rates. This method was used to determine the rankings of countries.
