Economic growth is an increase in the quantity and quality of the economic goods and services that a society produces. Economic growth can be measured in ‘nominal’ or ‘real’ terms. Nominal economic growth refers to the increase in the dollar value of production over time. This includes changes in both the volume of production and the prices of goods and services produced. What is inflation? Inflation is the increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy over time. It could also be thought of as a decrease in the value of your money and purchasing power. While a low, steady inflation rate of 2% indicates a healthy economy, high or rapidly changing inflation can become dangerous. What is imports and exports? Imports are the goods and services that are purchased from the rest of the world by a country’s residents, rather than buying domestically produced items. Imports lead to an outflow of funds from the country since import transactions involve payments to sellers residing in another country. Exports are goods and services that are produced domestically, but then sold to customers residing in other countries. Exports lead to an inflow of funds to the seller’s country since export transactions involve selling domestic goods and services to foreign buyers. What is exchange rate? An exchange rate between two currencies is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another. That is, the exchange rate is the price of a country’s currency in terms of another currency. What is interest rate? Interest rates are the price you pay to borrow money, or the payment you receive when you lend money. Interest rates are generally framed as percentages. Each year you either pay (if you’re borrowing) or receive (if you’re lending) this percentage of the total amount of the loan. What is GDP Per Capita? A country's GDP or gross domestic product is calculated by taking into account the monetary worth of a nation's goods and services over a certain period of time, usually one year. It's a measure of economic activity. This amount of wealth is divided among the country's population to tell us its GDP per capita. Essentially, GDP per capita acts as a metric for determining a country's economic output per each person living there. Often, rich nations with smaller populations tend to have higher per capita GDP. Once you do the math, the wealth is spread among fewer people, which raises a country's GDP. What is agricultural land? Agricultural land refers to the share of land area that is arable, under permanent crops, and under permanent pastures. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded. Land under permanent crops is land cultivated with crops that occupy the land for long periods and need not be replanted after each harvest, such as cocoa, coffee, and rubber. This category includes land under flowering shrubs, fruit trees, nut trees, and vines, but excludes land under trees grown for wood or timber. Permanent pasture is land used for five or more years for forage, including natural and cultivated crops.
