Realwertigem

Realwertigem is a term in the German language used in economics and statistics to describe values or measurements expressed in real terms, i.e., adjusted for inflation, rather than nominal figures. The word is formed from the noun Realwert (real value) and the adjective suffix -ig; the dative form realwertigem appears in phrases such as mit realwertigem Maßstab, illustrating its use in technical prose. The term is relatively rare in everyday speech and is more common in specialised writings where precision about inflation adjustments is required.

In linguistic and stylistic terms, realwertigem functions as an attributive adjective and is typically found in contexts that emphasize valuations or indicators measured in real terms. It is often preferred to plain real or inflationsbereinigt in very precise discussions, though in many situations writers use the more common expressions real, real terms, or inflationsbereinigt to convey the same idea.

Usage tends to be confined to economic analysis, statistical reporting and academic writing. Realwertigem signals that a calculation or interpretation accounts for changes in the price level, separating changes due to quantity from changes due to purchasing power. As a result, it helps distinguish between nominal movements and those that reflect genuine real growth or value.
