Australia GDP Growth Rate (YoY) : Definition
Australia's year-on-year annual GDP growth rate shows the percentage change in the nation's total economic output between one quarter and the same quarter a year earlier. It is calculated by comparing the current quarter's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) value to the previous year's corresponding quarter's GDP value. GDP is composed mainly of household consumption, business investment, government spending and net exports (exports minus imports).
