How is the Gross National Income (GNI) calculated?

Gross National Income (GNI) is calculated by adding up the total value of all goods and services produced by the residents of a country, including income earned from abroad (such as remittances and investments), and subtracting any income earned by non-residents within the country. It is a measure of the total income generated by a country's residents, regardless of where they are located. GNI takes into account both the income earned domestically and the income earned from abroad, providing a comprehensive measure of a country's economic performance and its citizens' income.
