Notes: Figures in brackets refer to percentage changes over the same period of the preceding year.
GNI is a measure of the total income earned by residents of an economy from engaging in various economic activities, irrespective of whether the economic activities are carried out within the economic territory of the economy or outside. GNI is obtained by adding net external primary income flows (i.e. external primary income inflow minus external primary income outflow) to GDP of the same year.
(1) Real Gross National Income (RGNI) is obtained by adding the terms of trade adjustment and real net external
primary income flows to real GDP.
