Nominal vs. Real GDP
Nominal GDP measures output at current prices and includes inflation. South Africa's nominal GDP typically grows 5–8% per year (roughly real growth + inflation deflator).
Real GDP strips out inflation and has hovered around 1–1.5% in recent years.
Budget insights on this page compare revenue to nominal GDP because tax receipts are also collected in nominal rands.
