How It's Calculated
GDP plus net receipts from abroad for primary income (employee compensation and investment income). Divided by mid-year population.
Why It Matters
GNI captures income earned by citizens regardless of location, including remittances and foreign investment returns. Important for countries with significant diaspora populations or foreign investments.
Understanding the Values
Similar ranges to GDP per capita, but can differ significantly for countries with large remittance flows (higher GNI) or foreign-owned production (lower GNI).
