GDPszámítás

GDPszámítás refers to the calculation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Hungarian. GDP is a macroeconomic indicator representing the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders during a specific period, typically a year or a quarter. There are three primary methods for calculating GDP: the expenditure approach, the income approach, and the production (or output) approach.

The expenditure approach sums up all spending on final goods and services. This includes consumption expenditure by households, investment by businesses, government spending, and net exports (exports minus imports). The formula is typically represented as GDP = C + I + G + (X - M).

The income approach calculates GDP by summing all incomes earned within the economy. This includes wages and salaries, profits of corporations and unincorporated businesses, rental income, and interest income. It also accounts for indirect business taxes and depreciation.

The production approach, also known as the value-added approach, measures the total value added at each stage of production. This involves summing the value added by all industries in the economy, which is the difference between the value of their output and the value of intermediate goods used in production.

In Hungary, the Central Statistical Office (KSH) is responsible for compiling and publishing GDP data. These calculations are crucial for understanding the economic health and performance of the country, informing economic policy decisions, and comparing Hungary's economic standing with other nations. The specific methodologies and data sources used by KSH align with international standards set by organizations like Eurostat and the United Nations.
