Explanation:

Nominal gross domestic product (GDP) represents the market value of all the new and legal goods and services produced within a country during a given period of time (generally a year). Since it is not adjusted to inflation (real GDP is), an increase in nominal GDP may result from higher inflation or higher production, or a combination of both. Only if adjusted to inflation (real GDP) we can know if the increase resulted from higher production.
