In Short
Nominal GDP can rise because prices rise. Real GDP is closer to a quantity-based measure and is the standard way to see whether the economy is genuinely expanding.
What It Tells You
It is used to judge economic strength, recession recovery, and long-run growth momentum. For cross-country comparison, it becomes more useful when paired with GDP growth.
How To Read It
GDP can be revised. It is usually better to focus on multi-period trends and read it together with other activity indicators instead of overreacting to a single print.
