GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product (it is the value of
the goods & services produced in the country within a year) and it usually
uses for any country in order to measure its economic situation. To answer the
above question we first need to know about what real GDP is and what Nominal
GDP is for this we must check out its definitions
Real GDP =
Real GDP is economic output measurement at macroeconomic
level to know the price change position in the country for example measuring
inflation and deflation.
Real GDP can also be defined as it’s an observation which
includes measurement of inflation/deflation of goods & services produced in
any country within given period of time.
Nominal GDP =
As compared with the Real GDP, Nominal GDP is about
explaining the actual GDP without taking into account other factors or
variables such as inflation
Nominal GDP do not explains the economic strength of the
country because of the fact that it determines GDP without variables like
inflation etc.

economic activity of the country in order to know its economic situation
