Abstract

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an effective measure of national income, in its narrow sense as measuring economic output, and has demonstrable utility in informing macro-economic policy decisions and the efficacy of key policy interventions over time. However, GDP is not a measure of the achievement or otherwise of other policy objectives.
