Table 1
| Nominal GDP growth | Real GDP growth | Inflation rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | +2% | -1% | +4% |
| B | -3% | -1% | -1% |
| C | +1% | +4% | -3% |
| D | -2% | +2% | -5% |
Nominal GDP growth: +2%+2\%+2%, Real GDP growth: −1%-1\%−1%, Inflation rate: +4%+4\%+4%
Nominal GDP growth: −3%-3\%−3%, Real GDP growth: −1%-1\%−1%, Inflation rate: −1%-1\%−1%
Nominal GDP growth: +1%+1\%+1%, Real GDP growth: +4%+4\%+4%, Inflation rate: −3%-3\%−3%
Nominal GDP growth: −2%-2\%−2%, Real GDP growth: +2%+2\%+2%, Inflation rate: −5%-5\%−5%
