I'm not sure if you mean a good GPA to get into an Economics department at a good college or if you are referring to a good GPA that is attained while majoring in economics. Because of the way you worded the question, I am going to assume you meant the latter.
Generally speaking, Economics is considered one of the more difficult (but not the most) majors in higher education; it typically involves the use of various theories and models unintelligible to the average person and requires some degree of algebraic aptitude. The required knowledge of algebra is often overstated at the undergraduate level, but make no mistake: a very strong ability in upper level math (including Calculus) is required to succeed in economic study at the graduate level.
The average GPA listed in Economics is 2.95 (while the average GPA in say, English, is 3.3), implying it is more difficult to attain a higher GPA in the major. In order to be competitive, assuming you wish to go to graduate school, you will need to perform notably above average.
If Economics is what interests you, don't be intimidated! Most people who just put some effort into the coursework will be able to understand it.
