Hawaiʻi’s Genuine Progress Indicator (HI GPI)
Hawaiʻi’s Genuine Progress Indicator (HI GPI)
The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is an economic welfare indicator representing the costs and benefits of economic activity. While GPI is expressed as a single annual number, it can be decomposed into constituent parts, which consist of indicators related to the economy, as well as social and environmental change. Looking at total GPI from years 2000 to 2023, Hawaiʻi genuinely progressed on average 1.7 percent each year. Hawaiʻi’s GPI economic indicators progressed 1.4 percent each year. GPI’s social indicators progressed 1.4 percent each year, and GPI’s environment indicators progressed 0.6 percent each year.
This site is designed with a navigation bar at the top of each page. Navigate by selecting the indicators of interest within the bar. The top row of the bar represents GPI = Economic Indicators + Social Indicators + Environmental Indicators. The bottom row represents GPI = PCE_ADJ + PP + KB + KH + KS – SC + KN – POL – DKN. Further details at GPI Details and information on calculating GPI here. Otherwise, refer to the HI GPI report linked below.
