Exploring the Benefits of Economic Growth

Growth can be defined as an increase in the value of goods and services produced in the country over a period of time. Growth is measured in the Real GDP (Gross Domestic Product), the health of an economy. Real GDP represents the total dollar value of goods and services produced over a specific time period. The Benefits of economic growth is, an increase in production so a wider range of goods and services available for the consumers. An increase in investment, increase in sales, revenues and profits. More jobs and more employment, increase production and investment. Higher income, increased production and more jobs increase household incomes and productivity for the producers. Increased savings, higher household incomes means an increase in savings. Higher tax revenue

Firms import of raw materials will cost more so importa payments rise which causes aggregate supply to shift to the left. This leads to employment increasing and higher income.
