ECONOMIC REPORT
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market value of all the final goods and services produced within a nation's borders in a given time period. Each goods and services produced and brought in the market has a price. The price of the total output is called as GDP. It can be measured by either cumulating all the income earned in the economy or all the spending in the economy and both measures should roughly equate to the same total.
The Gross domestic income includes the following items:
1) Wages and salaries paid to the labor force.
2) Corporate profits earned by the country's businesses.
3) Interest charged by lenders (i.e., banks).
