What is GDP Deflator?

The GDP deflator is a measure of the change in the annual domestic production due to change in price rates in the economy and hence it is a measure of the change in nominal GDP and real GDP during a particular year calculated by dividing the Nominal GDP with the real GDP and multiplying the resultant with 100.

It’s a measure of price inflation/deflation with respect to the specific base year and is not based on a fixed basket of goods or services but is allowed to be modified on a yearly basis depending on consumption and investment patterns.

The GDP deflator of the base year is 100.
