These two sentences have the same meaning. For the future tense text books teach students to say I AM GOING TO PLAY BASKETBALL NEXT WEEK. But many native speakers simply say I AM PLAYING BASKETBALL NEXT WEEK. The difference is that the speaker omits the GOING TO and uses the -ING form of the sentence verb instead. This can be confusing because the structure of this future tense is the same as the present continous tense. The difference is thus understood from context or with the help of adverbs/adverbial phrases such as TOMORROW, NEXT WEEK, ON TUESDAY and so on.

Economically speaking, the real wealth of a nation is the contributions of its people and nature. So it is the resources, services and domestically produced goods from a given country.
