About This Trend

Negative GDP refers to a decrease in the Gross Domestic Product, which is the total value of goods and services produced within a country. It is a key indicator of a country's economic health and growth.

The current negative GDP reading is trending due to the recent release of economic data showing a -0.3% decline in GDP, marking the first quarter of negative growth since the first quarter of 2022. This has sparked concerns about a potential recession, although economists believe it is too early to make a definitive conclusion. .
