Economic Indicator: GDP Assignment
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down the vast majority of the world, most

population is currently using the excess savings on activities that, due to the pandemic, were
unable to use. Another cause of the expansion is the cost of buying a house has grown

climbing rapidly to as much as 4.9% in a single quarter after adjusting to inflation.
