What is Rebasing GDp

Rebasing GDP is the process of updating the base year used for calculating real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). GDP is a measure of the total value of goods and services produced in an economy. Real GDP adjusts for inflation, allowing for comparisons of economic output over time. To do this, prices from a specific base year are used as a reference point. Rebasing involves changing this base year to a more recent one to better reflect current economic structures, consumption patterns, and technological advancements. This ensures that the "real" GDP figures are more relevant and accurate for economic analysis.
