Abstract The following paper is a depiction of the current economic concern of the real gross domestic product of the Federal Republic of Brazil. Included as well are data sets which display the statistics and recorded data of the real gross domestic products for the years 2000 through 2010. These data sets provide an analysis for the afore mentioned time frame in order to accurately determine trends over a set period of ten years. Moreover, the data and statistical evidence represented will provide additional support for individual assertions based upon the trends in relation to Brazil’s real gross domestic product. The GDP within this nation directly affects the country’s economy as well, and this will be further explained regarding the specific relationships amongst the economy and the current economic concern: the GDP.
