GDP trends over time
The graph below shows the total GDP values for all Local Authorities within the London N (N) area:
When we talk about GDP at current market prices, we're looking at the total value of all goods and services produced in an area, but the key bit here is "current market prices." This means it includes the value of goods and services as they're bought and sold right now, without adjusting for inflation or changes in prices over time.
So, for example a figure of £1,782 GDP means that, on average, each person within an area contributes this amount to the UK economy each year.
