Price-adjusted output
Real GDP vs Nominal GDP
Real GDP measures output after adjusting for price changes. Nominal GDP measures output at current prices and reflects inflation as well as volume changes.
Price metric
GDP Price Index
The GDP price index is a broad measure of inflation across the domestic economy. It differs from CPI and PCE, which track consumer prices and are not identical to the economy-wide GDP deflator.

Fed context
Why GDP Matters to the Federal Reserve
Real GDP growth helps frame the pace of economic expansion, while inflation, labor-market strength and financial conditions inform the policy backdrop. Stronger-than-expected growth can influence expectations for monetary policy, particularly when it coincides with persistent inflation or tight financial conditions.
National accounts
GDP and the Labor Market
GDP and labor-market data provide different perspectives on the economy. Output growth shows production, while employment data captures labour-market conditions and demand for workers.
EconomicLab Analysis
GDP Growth and Inflation
Real GDP growth and inflation are related through demand, labor-market conditions, and the supply side of the economy, but they do not move in lockstep. Higher production can coexist with moderate inflation, while slower growth may still coincide with elevated prices depending on the underlying mix of spending, investment and supply constraints.
