In the German sustainability strategy, two indicators are used to measure the economic performance and competitiveness of the economy. The indicator described here measures the price-adjusted gross domestic product per inhabitant in Germany in euros. Gross domestic product measures the value of all goods and services produced domestically by paid labor. Residents are all persons who have their permanent place of residence in Germany. The gross domestic product measures the economic growth of a country, whereby events such as the repair of a destroyed house or the treatment of the sick are also included in the "economic growth". Unpaid services are not included in the calculation and negative environmental or social effects of economic growth are not taken into account.

The German government's sustainability strategy does not specify a precise target value for this indicator. According to the indicator report, the German government is aiming for "steady and appropriate economic growth".

No baseline is specified. Without a quantifiable target value for 2030, we cannot calculate progress and it is therefore not necessary to set a baseline.

Not calculable: This is an official indicator of the German sustainability strategy. Without a quantifiable target value for 2030, we cannot calculate progress.
