GROSS STATE PRODUCT (GSP) In 2009-10, the volume measure of Tasmania's Gross State Product (GSP) reached $22.3 billion, an increase of $94.0 million or 0.4% from the 2008-09 figure of $22.2 billion. However the GSP per capita in 2009-10 in Tasmania recorded a negative (-0.5%) growth on 2008-09, due to the population growth exceeding the GSP growth rate. Real gross state income, a measure of the real purchasing power of income generated by production within the state, is calculated by adjusting the chain volume measure of GSP for changes in the terms of trade.
