- One common measure of a country’s government size is to compare the government economic activity to the country’s GDP as a whole. This comparison is illustrated in the data below.
- Real GDP growth was forecast to increase 3.1% in 2024, a slight rise from the October 2023 outlook.
- While positive growth is projected across all regions, it varies widely due to many factors spanning from the effects of higher borrowing costs to low consumer sentiment.
