*Although similar, GDP and GNI differ slightly. Gross National Income (GNI) is the total value of goods and services produced within a country (its Gross Domestic Product, GDP) plus the income received from other countries, less similar payments made to other countries. For instance, a German-owned company operating in the US would send some profits back to Germany, thereby enhancing the German GNI.
