Angola, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Nigeria also had very significant real growth, but nominal GDP was boosted by very large terms of trade effects and real appreciation.

For most emerging market countries, however, nominal GDP growth in the 2003 2011 period was caused by terms of trade improvements, capital inflows, and real appreciation.
