Gross National Income (GNI) comprises the total value k produced within a country (i.e. its
Gross Domestic Product), together with its income received from other countries (notably
interest and
dividends), less similar payments made to other countries.
For example, if a British-owned company operating in another country sends some of its income (profits) back to UK, the UK’s GNI is enhanced. Similarly, the repatriation of profit from a US-owned company operating in the UK will count towards US GNI, but not count towards UK GNI.
