GDP · GSYH
Gross Domestic Product
Short definition
GDP is the value of goods and services produced in the country. It is a coarse demand-cycle measure; your order book diverges via sector and capacity.
Detailed explanation
Nominal GDP carries inflation; real GDP is volume. Composition (consumption, investment, net exports) sets your channel.
It is published with a lag; PMI and industrial production signal earlier. Locking sales to a single “GDP +x%” ignores mix.
Why it matters for the CFO
Capacity and inventory decisions follow which GDP component is your demand. The wrong component wastes growth capex.
How to read it
A GDP rise does not bring the same orders to every sector. Per capita and distribution are separate from volume.
