Economic Growth
Economic Growth is the increase in the level of output from one year (base) to another, this is measured by a percentage change in GDP.
Up until 1997 we can see a very jagged economic cycle with a high point 1988 at 6%, and a huge decline in output hitting a recession in 1991, the trend picks up again and reaches another high point 1995. So overall at times there is high growth or a decline in growth. Since 1997 although there has been low growth it has kept a steady growth with only slight dips.
