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.
If a country’s companies earn large profits overseas, its GNI can be higher than its GDP.
Higher GNI means more total income for residents.
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.
