ARGENTINA GDP

Argentina Gross Domestic Product is worth 369 billion dollars or 0.60% of the world economy, according to the World Bank. Historically, from 1962 until 2010, Argentina's average Gross Domestic Product was 137.01 billion dollars reaching an historical high of 368.71 billion dollars in December of 2010 and a record low of 18.27 billion dollars in December of 1963. Argentina is the third largest national economy in Latin America. Argentina has abundant natural resources, a well-educated population, an export-oriented agricultural sector and a relatively diversified industrial base. Domestic instability and global trends, however, contributed to Argentina's decline from its noteworthy position as the world's 10th wealthiest nation per capita in 1913 to the world's 47th wealthiest in 2008.

GDP
The gross domestic product (GDP) or gross domestic income (GDI) is one of the measures of national income and output for a given country's economy. GDP can be defined in three ways, all of which are conceptually identical. First, it is equal to the total expenditures for all final goods and services produced within the country in a stipulated period of time (usually a 365-day year). Second, it is equal to the sum of the value added at every stage of production (the intermediate stages) by all the industries within a country, plus taxes less subsidies on products, in the period. Third, it is equal to the sum of the income generated by production in the country in the period—that is, compensation of employees, taxes on production and imports less subsidies, and gross operating surplus (or profits).
