Reading the headline data
GDP shows the current-dollar size of the economy, while real growth measures changes in output after accounting for price effects. Inflation and unemployment add separate information about household prices and labor conditions.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise exports and imports cover traded goods. They are not combined with services trade or treated as a current-account measure.
