The graph below shows the Gross Domestic Product changes between 2009 and 2018, according to the International Monetary Fund. Overall, the GDP presented huge variations from 2009 to 2013, growing and decreasing from year to year. However, from 2013 onwards, according to the forecast, the GDP is prone to maintain a stable behavior, with only small changes. This prediction seems viable, as GDP showed a tendency to reduce big changes in the last years. Specifically, it is estimated that the GDP will slowly grow from 2013 to 2017 and then it will decrease in the last year included in the IMF prediction, that is to say, 2018.
Now, there are two changes across the presented period of time that deserve a highlight. Those that took place from 2008 to 2009 and then from 2009 to 2010. In the first case, the GDP dropped significantly, from -0.3% to -2.5%. Then, in the consecutive year, it increased to 2.5%. Both of them represent the most abrupt movements. Then, the GDP dropped again from 2010 to 2011, but not as much as in previous cases.
In conclusion, regardless of all possible changes between 2012 to 2018, from a general view it can be said that the GDP is achieving almost the same percentage in 2018. This is because in 2012 it was 2.78% and in 2018 it is supposed to get to 3.07%. Also, it in 2015 and 2017 the GDP will be almost the same, with 3.35% and 3.36%, respectively. Consequently, changes will be fewer each year.
