Gross National Income; income

Gross National Income (GNI) comprises the total value of goods and services 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.

It also has to do with the amount of income a place recieves.
