owned or controlled by the government and
where the resource allocation, investment
pattern, consumption choices, income
distribution and prices are directed and

Economic indicators
• 1. gross domestic product(GDP)
• GDP is defined as the total market value of all
final goods and services produced in a
country, equal to total consumer investment
and government spending, plus the value of
exports minus the value of import
GDP = consumption + investment + government
spending +(export-import)
• Gross means that depreciation of capital stock is
not included, consumption and investment in this
equation are the expenditure on final goods and
services.
• the major advantage of using GDP per capita as
an indicator of standard of living is that it is
measured frequently, widely and consistently
• The major disadvantage of using GDP as an
indicator of standard of living is that it is not
strictly speaking, a measure of standard of living.
• For example, a country which exported 100% of
its production would still have high GDP, but very
poor standard of living.
2. Gross national product(GNP)
• GDP include goods and services produced within the
geographic boundaries of India, regardless of the
producers natinality.GNP doesn't include goods and
services produced by foreign producers, but include

• Inflation is an increase in the price of a basket of
goods and services that is representative of the
economy as whole. It is upward movement in the
average level of prices.

7.Balance of payment(BOP)
• BOP measure the payment that flow between

receipt. Receipt which are not of recurring nature are
generally o capital receipts.eg. Domestic borrowing,
recovery of loans by union government etc.
9. Wholesale index price
• To calculate inflation, the inflation-computing
agency has to collect prices of identified
commodities. As the wholesale markets are few, it is
easier to collect the prices of goods traded there,
wholesale price of 400 commodities is taken into
account for the base year 1993-1994. the 100 –
point index is subdivided into three groups:
1. Primary articles, including food and non food
agriculture product has a weight of 22.02%
2. Manufactured goods have the highest weight of
63.75%
3. Fuel and power has a weight of 14.23%
10. Consumer price index(CPI)
• CPI takes into account the retail prices. This
