What do you mean by Investment Multiplier?

Investment multiplier is an important part of economic theories suggested by notable economist John Maynard Keynes. According to this concept, in the event of an increase in the investment activities either public or private which can be in the form of private consumption spending, government spending in an economy, there is a corresponding increase in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the economy by a value more than the amount invested. In simple words, investment multiplier refers to the increase in the aggregate income of the economy as a result of an increase in the investments done by the government in the form of new projects.
