Biggest economies in East Africa 2020 (EA largest)

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market value of all goods and services produced by a country over a specific period of time. There are three main methods used to measure the perfomance of a country‘s economy : GDP based on purchasing-power-parity (PPP), GDP per capita, and Nominal GDP.

GDP (PPP) measures economic growth and performance of a country as well as taking into account the living standards of people in a country.

While nominal GDP only focuses on economic growth and perfomance but doesnt take into account the living standards of people in a country.

Though PPP GDP is a good way to measure countries economies, its less exact  than Nominal GDP since it doesn’t include the difference in quality of goods and services between Nations. Therefore Nominal GDP
is mostly used to measure and compare economies of different countries.
