GDP deflator for national currency

Definition

"The GDP deflator (implicit price deflator for GDP) is calculated as GDP at current prices divided by GDP at “constant prices” (chained volume estimates or fixed-base volume estimates, depending on countries)." OECD, Paris

Example

You will find the GDP deflator e.g. here: DSI's Global Economic Statistics.

But it's also possible to calculate it manually: download the GDP at current prices and GDP at constant prices for the country of your choice, here: Saudi Arabia, currency: Saudi Riyal

Do the math requested by definition:

GDP deflator for Saudi Riyal = GDP at current prices / GDP at constant prices
