The real GDP is influenced by inflation.
A gross domestic product (GDP) value that is at face value and has not been adjusted in any way, for inflation or any other reason, is known as a "nominal GDP." It is sometimes also called a "current dollar GDP."
It means that inflation is negative, also known as deflation.
Inflation and Deflation
Real GDP calculations have been adjusted to factor in inflation. Nominal GDP calculations are not adjusted. It is harder to make valid comparisons across time if you don't adjust for price level differences.
Check the inflation rate, and the real GDP. If inflation also is very high, nominal GDP could increase despite there not being any increase in output.
Nominal GDP is GDP evaluated at current market prices. Therefore , nominal GDP wil include of the changes in market prices that have occurred during the current year due to inflation or deflation. Nominal GDP= GDP deflator.real GDP/100 Real GDP is GDP evaluate at the market price of some base year. GDP deflator --- Using the statistics on real GDP and nominal GDP, one can calculate an implecit index of the price level for the year. This index is called GDP deflator. GDP deflator = nominal GDP/real GDP .100 The GDP deflator can be viewed as a conversion factor that transform real GDP into nominal GDP. Note that in the base year, real GDP is by definition equal to nominal GDP so that the GDP deflator in the base year equal to 100.
The main difference is that Real GDP accounts for inflation and is calculated using Nominal GDP. It is useful when trying to compare GDPs froms different times.
