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.
If nominal GDP grew 10% and real GDP 6%, the deflator rose about 4%.
A high reading means prices across the whole economy are rising quickly.
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.
