About the indicator

The annual growth rate of GDP in constant prices from the IMF World Economic Outlook database. It is the main reference point for judging the prospects of economies: these are the figures quoted as the IMF growth forecast. Values for past years are actuals from the national accounts; those for the current and future years are estimates and projections.

Important: The projection years are revised twice a year, and the divergence from the eventual actuals can be substantial for commodity economies.
