Answer 1

Answer: Investment and Increases.

Explanation:  Economic expansion basically depends on four factors: consumption, investment, public spending and trade balance.

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is nothing more than the aggregate of all final goods and services produced in a country over a period of time.

The first factor that directly influences the GDP variation concerns private consumption, that is, household expenditures for the purchase of goods or services.

Another factor that has a strong influence on GDP variation is private investments, those made by companies.
