Question

If the Real Gross Domestic Product is Rs 200 and the Nominal Gross Domestic Product is Rs 210, calculate the Price Index (base = 100).

Solution

We know,
\[\text{ Real GDP }= \frac{\text{ Nominal GDP }}{\text{ Price Index of Current Year }} \times 100\]
Substituting the given values in the formula
\[200 = \frac{210}{\text{ Price Index of Current Year }} \times 100\]
or, Price Index of Current Year = 105

The country's real gross domestic product (GDP) is likely to expand by 11 percent in the next financial year due to a faster economic recovery and on a low base, says a report. The report by domestic rating agency Brickwork Ratings said economic activities are slowly reaching PRE-COVID levels following the relaxation of the lockdown, except in sectors that remain affected by social distancing norms.

"With progress in developing an effective vaccine for COVID-19 and signals of faster-than-expected recovery in the domestic economy, and also supported by a low base, we expect the real GDP to grow at 11 percent in F/Y 22, from the estimated contraction of 7 percent to 7.5 percent in F/Y 21," the agency said.

According to the first advance estimates of national income released by the National Statistical Office (NSO), the country's GDP is estimated to contract by a record 7.7 percent during the current financial year.
