The most widely used indicator to measure growth is gross domestic product (GDP).<\/p><p>Measuring economic growth is done by calculating the growth rates of the world&#8217;s GDP in terms of GDP (at the market value of all final goods and services produced over a period determined domestically, considering inflation) or its use (on expenses).\u201d<\/p><p>According to the methodological specifications, the growth estimation was performed based on the FLASH method \/ estimation. The method itself involves giving up accuracy based on an incomplete set of information to save time (publishing 40-45 days from the end of the reference quarter).<\/p><p>In Romania it was stated that &#8220;the same European methods&#8221; were used.<\/p><p>In the calculation of economic growth, we did not see that the influence of inflation was considered. Moreover, on the website of the National Institute of Statistics it is mentioned that market prices are used, and according to the methodological specifications, \u201cgross value added at basic price\u201d is used &#8211; similarly. According to Mediafax, inflation in the first quarter of 2022 was 4%.<\/p><p>So, even if the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased (in value) by 5.2% (assuming the margin of error for estimating FLASH is not very large), we conclude that to establish real growth, we must eliminate inflation.<\/p><p>We all know that countries around the world have recently begun to inject money into their economies, which has led to global inflation. When money is printed, the value of money decreases and consequently goods and services become more expensive &#8211; generating inflation. Inflation reduces the value of the currency over time.<\/p><p>How much I would like that Governments and State\u2019 Institutions to communicate the truth to the people, no matter how gloomy it is.
