The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate when priced in US dollars in each EU and US region over the past five years as of the first quarter of 2020 and the growth over the past ten years.  All negative growth rates in the EU are attributed to currency rate fluctuations.

The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate when the GDP is priced in US dollars in each EU and US state over the past five years as of the first quarter of 2020 and the growth rate over the past ten years.  Only EU states saw a contraction both over the past five and ten years.
