Understanding Gross National Income — a simple guide

What it measures

Gross national income (GNI): GDP plus net primary income received from abroad, in current US dollars.

How it is calculated

GNI = GDP + income earned by residents from abroad − income paid to foreigners.

Simple example

If a country’s companies earn large profits overseas, its GNI can be higher than its GDP.

▲ When it is high or rising

Higher GNI means more total income for residents.

▼ When it is low or falling

GNI below GDP means more income flows out to foreign owners.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

GNI captures income earned by residents, including from overseas investments and remittances, and is used by the World Bank for income classifications.

How to read it

It differs most from GDP in countries with large foreign investment or large income payments abroad.
