Understanding GDP Deflator Growth — a simple guide

What it measures

The annual change in the GDP implicit price deflator — prices of everything produced in the economy, not just consumer goods.

How it is calculated

GDP deflator = nominal GDP ÷ real GDP × 100; the growth rate is its yearly % change.

Simple example

If nominal GDP grew 10% and real GDP 6%, the deflator rose about 4%.

▲ When it is high or rising

A high reading means prices across the whole economy are rising quickly.

▼ When it is low or falling

A low or negative reading means broad prices are stable or falling.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

It is the broadest measure of inflation and links nominal to real GDP.

How to read it

It can differ from CPI inflation when export, import or investment prices move differently from consumer prices.
