About the Indicators
GDP deflator. The ratio of GDP in current local-currency prices to GDP in constant local-currency prices, expressed as an index. Unlike the CPI, it covers price changes across everything produced domestically, not just goods and services bought by households.
Inflation, GDP deflator, annual %. The annual growth rate of the GDP deflator, capturing economy-wide inflation across all domestically produced goods and services rather than just consumer purchases.
GDP growth, annual %. The annual percentage change in gross domestic product measured at constant prices, the standard indicator of real economic growth after removing the effect of inflation.
