1 Definition
Gross National Income (GNI) is the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced and consumed in a country plus the net flow of factor income from abroad. The GNI was previously called the Gross National Product (GNP). Since GNP is a concept of income, GNI is considered a more appropriate term to use. The change was made by the United Nation's Statistics Division in 2003.
