If their GDP is actually 10% of what they report, then the reports are inflated.

If their GDP is actually 10% of what they report, then the reports are inflated.
The comment you are replying to is suggesting that the actual figures are inflated, not the ones they report, meaning actual GDP is higher than reported GDP.
The actual (real, factual) number just is what it is. The only number that can be inflated/suppressed/fudged/faked is the reported number.
