• Gross domestic product (GDP) is the value of all the goods and services produced in the economy in a year.
• Adjusted for inflation (chained volume measures), in 2024 prices.
• Before 1948, the series follows the Bank of England's historical estimates, scaled to meet ONS's figures in 1948; from 1948, it is ONS's. Estimates for earlier centuries are reconstructed from historical records, so they are much less certain than modern figures.
• Figures are for the area of today's UK (Great Britain and Northern Ireland) throughout.
