Gross domestic product (GDP)
The value of all goods and services produced in a country in a year, measured here in current US dollars.
In dollars, GDP also moves with the exchange rate: a fall of the currency lowers it even when the economy grows. That is why Syli Atlas shows real growth next to it. Source: IMF, World Economic Outlook.
