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.
