Nominal GDP (USD): Gross Fixed Capital Formation
Nominal GDP at purchaser's prices is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources.
Gross fixed capital formation is measured by the total value of a producer’s acquisitions, fewer disposals, of fixed assets during the accounting period plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets (such as subsoil assets or major improvements in the quantity, quality, or productivity of land) realized by the productive activity of institutional units.
Nominal GDP and the Impact of Inflation
Nominal GDP will increase as a result of inflation, hence when comparing changes from one year to the next, a gain in nominal GDP does not necessarily indicate economic expansion but rather the level of inflation during that time.
Nominal GDP and Economic Development
The creation of capital equipment on a large-scale boosts productivity in agriculture, mining, plantations, manufacturing, and other infrastructure and is generally referred to as the primary goal of economic growth. The production of economic and social overhead capital is the essence of economic development.
The economic well-being of a nation is largely influenced by capital formation. It aids in supplying every need of a growing population in an expanding economy. Levels of income rise and the diverse needs of the population are satisfied when capital formation results in the proper exploitation of natural resources and the establishment of various industries. They consume a wide range of goods, raising their standard of living and economic well-being. A rise in economic welfare is a sign of economic progress.
