Gross Domestic Product (GDP) statistics are an important pointer for businesses and investors looking at the prospects of global expansion. In addition, it is also an important pointer for economists and traders, especially those looking for how to invest their money online, since it serves as a comprehensive measure of economic health, which matters a lot for the prices of financial assets.

In particular, stronger economic growth translates into higher investor risk appetite and corporate profits, which positively correlates with stock quotes. Contrariwise stronger GDP growth can upset fixed-income investments like bonds by making their returns less attractive.

Markets are known to track GDP reports not as a leading economic indicator but rather to get a rear-view of the economy. To that end, Invezz has compiled a comprehensive GDP statistics report to give investors a feel of how the GDP of various economies around the world has changed to date.

On the contrary, it often hurts inflation rates as depicted in our earlier inflation rate statistics.
