Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Forecast

Definitions

Gross Domestic Product (GDP): GDP is the total of all goods and services produced within the boundaries of a country. For example, Canada’s GDP includes goods and services produced by Canadian and foreign-owned corporations inside Canada, but it does not include goods and services produced by Canadian corporations outside Canada.

  • GDP at basic prices: Equals GDP at market prices, minus taxes and subsidies on products.
  • GDP at market prices: The gross value at market prices of all goods and services produced by the economy, plus taxes but minus subsidies on imports.
  • GDP (expenditure-based): Equals the total expenditures of the four sectors of the economy (individual residents, individual non-residents, businesses, and governments).
  • GDP (income-based): Equals the total earnings from the two factors of production (labour and capital), plus taxes but minus subsidies.

Gross National Product (GNP): GNP is the total of all goods and service produced within the boundaries of a country, minus goods and services produced by foreign-owned businesses inside the country, plus goods and services produced by domestic-owned businesses outside the country. This was once the most common measure of national wealth production but has, in most cases, been replaced by GDP.
