Explanation

  • GNI is the total amount of money earned by a nation's people and businesses. It is used to measure and track a nation's wealth from year to year. The number includes the nation's gross domestic product, plus the income it receives from overseas sources.
  • GNI is an alternative to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a means of measuring and tracking a nation's wealth and is considered a more accurate indicator for some nations.

In brief

  • Gross National Income is an alternative to Gross National Product as a measure of wealth. It calculates income instead of output.
  • GNI can be calculated by adding income from foreign sources to the Gross Domestic Product.
  • Nations that have substantial foreign direct investment, foreign corporate presence, or foreign aid will show a significant difference between GNI and GDP.
