GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Bus/Financial - Economics / macroeconomic theory
German term or phrase: BIP zu Marktpreisen
"Die wichtigste Größe zur Beschreibung der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Produktion ist das Bruttoinlandsprodukt yu Marktpreisen (BIP= bzw. das gross domestic product (GDP)."

My translation: "The most important dimension for describing total economic productionis the gross domestic product (GDP) in market prices."
But how can "zu Marktpreisen" mean "in"? Or do I have the wrong concept?

Thanks in advance!
