Por qué importa
GDP is the broadest measure of economic health. Two quarters of contraction are the common rule of thumb for a recession. Stronger growth supports corporate earnings, jobs and the euro, and can push the European Central Bank (with the National Bank of Belgium) towards higher rates; a contraction raises the odds of cuts.
Cómo se calcula
Statbel adds up spending in the economy: consumption + investment + government spending + exports − imports, measured at constant prices (real GDP) and adjusted for seasonal patterns. The first (advance or flash) estimate is revised as more data arrive. The US annualises the quarterly change.
GDP = C + I + G + (X − M)
Growth (qoq) = real GDP ÷ real GDP last quarter − 1
Annualised = (1 + qoq)⁴ − 1Qué significan los cambios
- Compare with the consensus and with the previous quarter; the first estimate gets the biggest reaction.
- Look at the mix: growth from consumption and investment is healthier than growth from inventories.
- An annualised US figure of 2% is close to its long-run trend; 0.5% quarter on quarter is similar in European terms.
Mayor de lo esperado: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the euro and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Menor de lo esperado: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the euro tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Una breve historia
Simon Kuznets built the first national income accounts for the US Congress in 1934. GDP replaced GNP as the US headline measure in 1991; international standards are set in the UN System of National Accounts.
