The economy of any country is determined by its GDP (Gross Domestic Product). GDP is the total market value of goods and services produced by a country in a year. The ranking of the country’s economy also fluctuates due to the rise and fall of GDP from year to year. Fluctuations in the currency of the country are also the result of this.
