 Inflation rate : It is the percentage by which prices of
goods and services rise beyond their average levels. It is
the rate by which the purchasing power of the people in a
particular geography has declined in a specified period.
The rate of inflation may be calculated weekly, monthly
or annually. However, it is always expressed as an
annualized figure.
 The equation to calculate the inflation rate is:
 Inflation Rate = (Po- P-1)* 100 / P-1,
 where
 Po = the present average price
 P-1 = the price that existed last year.

Jobless Rate :The percentage of the total labor
force that is unemployed but actively seeking
employment and willing to work. 

Fiscal deficit: It is an economic phenomenon,

where the Government's total expenditure surpasses
the revenue generated . It is the difference between
the government's total receipts (excluding borrowing)
and total expenditure. Fiscal deficit gives the signal to
the government about the total borrowing
requirements from all sources.

 GDP: The monetary value of all the finished goods and services
produced within a country's borders in a specific time period,
though GDP is usually calculated on an annual basis. It includes
all of private and public consumption, government outlays,
investments and exports less imports that occur within a
defined territory. 
GDP = C + G + I + NX
where:
"C" is equal to all private consumption, or consumer spending,
in a nation's economy
"G" is the sum of government spending
"I" is the sum of all the country's businesses spending on capital
"NX" is the nation's total net exports, calculated as total exports
minus total imports. (NX = Exports - Imports)
