    Economic performance is commonly measured by GDP (Gross Domestic Product), which represents the total value of goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period. GDP is a widely used indicator to assess the overall health and growth of an economy. It takes into account consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. GNP (Gross National Product) and NNP (Net National Product) are also measures of economic activity, but they consider the income generated by a country's residents, including income earned abroad. CPI (Consumer Price Index) is a measure of inflation and not a direct gauge of economic performance.
