About This Indicator
Definition
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at current prices in US dollars. GDP is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a given year. This measure uses nominal exchange rates to convert local currency values to US dollars.
Methodology
The IMF compiles GDP data from national statistical agencies and central banks. For the World Economic Outlook (WEO), IMF staff review national accounts data, apply adjustments for methodological differences, and produce forecasts for the current and following years. GDP is calculated using the expenditure approach (C + I + G + NX) or the production approach (sum of value added across sectors). The conversion to US dollars uses the average market exchange rate for the year.
