• The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is a measure of economic growth and prosperity at the national level.
  • GPI is an alternative to GDP, but takes into account external factors such as pollution.
  • Thus, the GPI is considered the best indicator of growth in terms of a green or social economy.
  • Proponents suggest that the GPI is the best indicator because it gives a complete picture of the nation’s health.
  • Critics suggest that some GPI measures are too subjective, making it a less effective tool for measuring economic growth.
