Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: B
  • Economic growth refers to an increase in the production of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.
  • Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period. A high GDP indicates that the economy is producing more goods and services, thus signifying economic growth.
  • The other options are not direct indicators of economic growth:
    • High tax rates can sometimes be associated with economic growth if the revenue is used to invest in infrastructure.
    • Technology development is a driver of economic growth, but it is not the indicator itself.
    • High-interest rates can sometimes hinder economic growth.
