GDP growth is a key indicator of economic health, showing whether the economy is expanding or contracting over the year.
Central banks and investors watch GDP closely to gauge the strength of the economy, which influences monetary policy decisions such as interest rates.
Stronger GDP growth can boost investor confidence and support the currency, while weaker growth may raise concerns about economic slowdown.
Markets typically respond positively, with the currency strengthening and stock markets rising due to optimism about economic prospects.
This can lead to a weaker currency and lower stock prices as investors worry about economic slowdown and potential easing by the central bank.
Markets usually show limited reaction, as the data confirms current economic outlooks and policy expectations.
