Reading this correctly. Annual percentage growth rate of GDP at constant market prices. A negative value means the economy contracted that year. Figures are in annual %. Comparing this series with a different measure of the same concept (for example a nominal figure against a purchasing-power-parity figure) will give misleading results.
