1. THEORETICAL APPROACH OF THE GDP AND INFLATION RATE, AND THE LINK BETWEEN BOTH
1.1. THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT
The gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure of a country's overall economic output. It is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year.
GDP can be determined in three ways, all of which should in principle give the same result. They are the product (or output) approach, the income approach, and the expenditure approach.
The most direct of the three is the product
