GDP (Gross Domestic Product) represents the total value of final goods and services produced within the country’s economic territory during a specified period.

| Growth Below Expectations | Can trigger negative market reactions even when GDP is still growing |
| Growth Above Expectations | Can support market sentiment if other conditions remain favourable |
