What the figure or term means
Real growth adjusts for price changes and measures total economic output.
Growth was supported by domestic demand and the arrival of millions of returnees.
Total GDP growth did not prevent falling income per person.

How to use this information responsibly
Economic indicators describe different things: national output, prices, household deprivation, employment, public revenue, or access to services. Reading the definition and period is essential.
Economic series are revised and are not interchangeable. Growth in total GDP can coexist with falling income per person and worsening household hardship.
