  Gross domestic product
In economics, the gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure of the amount of the economic production of a particular territory in financial capital terms during a specific time period.
GDP differs from gross national product in excluding inter-country income transfers, in effect attributing to a territory the product generated within it rather than the incomes received in it.
GDP doesn't measure the sustainability of growth, as a country may achieve a temporary high GDP by over-exploiting natural resources.

 NCPA - Study #232 - Public Spending And Social Progress
Countries that spend between $4,130 and the observed maximum of $5,307.50 on government consumption - which includes some of the world's most-developed economies - appear to be wasting up to $1,177.50 per person per year in spending that yields no improvement in social progress.
Of course, many of the countries in the sample are so poor they would have to spend many times their per capita GNP to reach the point at which the marginal benefit is exhausted.
The table also shows the average for each country of all six indices of social progress (rescaled to be in the interval 0 to 100), government consumption spending and the actual 1995 value of total government outlays as a share of GDP.

Responding to mounting criticism that richer countries were condemning poor countries to poverty by not easing the pressure of their debt burdens, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1996 announced a new debt relief programme known as the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative.
For the 22 countries that became eligible by December 2000, a commitment of $33.6 billion in debt relief was made.
It is this group of countries that may prove the most problematic for the HIPC program as many of them are unable to carry out the basic prerequisites of the programme, such as implementing policy reforms.

Although transportation costs for these countries may be higher compared to states with direct access to the sea, Botswana--one of the best performing countries in sub-Saharan Africa and the only LDC to graduate from the list--is landlocked.
Although these countries must confront high transportation costs and the inability to achieve economies of scale in the production of non-tradable goods, it is not clear that either factor is a real constraint.
Many studies have shown that preferences delay and discourage domestic policy reforms such as the reduction of internal barriers that act as a tax against exports.[11] Moreover, valuable political capital is wasted when LDCs direct their national efforts to preserving preferences, rather than working to address supply-side issues such as poor infrastructure.

EU economic affairs commissioner Joaquin Almunia said that in light of efforts by the two countries to reduce their deficits, and a court ruling upholding Brussels' right to police their finances, "it would appear that no further steps are required at this point".
France and Germany are on course to breach the public deficit ceiling laid down in the EU's Stability and Growth Pact - 3.0 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) - for a third year running this year.
In its statement, the EU executive said the time lag created by the wait for the court judgement meant that 2005 should be viewed as the correct target for France and Germany to get their deficits under the 3.0 percent limit.
