Real GDP growth rate - volume
Percentage change on previous year
Gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure of the economic activity, defined as the value of all
goods and services produced less the value of any goods or services used in their creation. The
calculation of the annual growth rate of GDP volume is intended to allow comparisons of the
dynamics of economic development both over time and between economies of different sizes.
For measuring the growth rate of GDP in terms of volumes, the GDP at current prices are valued
in the prices of the previous year and the thus computed volume changes are imposed on the
level of a reference year; this is called a chain-linked series. Accordingly, price movements will
not inflate the growth rate.

 DHL (Dalsey, Hillblom and Lynn) International GmbH is an American-founded German
company which is now the international courier, parcel, and express mail division of the
German logistics company Deutsche Post DHL. Deutsche Post DHL is the world's largest logistics
company,  particularly in sea and air mail.The company delivers over 1.3 billion parcels per year. [2]
 The company was founded in the United States in 1969 and expanded its service throughout the
world by the late 1970s. The company was primarily interested in offshore and intercontinental
deliveries, but the success of FedEx prompted their own intra-US expansion starting in 1983.
 In 1998, Deutsche Post began to acquire shares in DHL. It reached controlling interest in 2001,
and acquired all outstanding shares by December 2002.  The company then absorbed DHL into its
Express division, while expanding the use of the DHL brand to other Deutsche Post divisions,
business units, and subsidiaries. Today, DHL Express shares its DHL brand with business units
such as DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Supply Chain.  It gained a foothold in the United States
when it acquired Airborne Express.
