Notes: GNP is derived from GDP by (a) adding total income earned by Hong Kong residents from outside Hong Kong and (b) subtracting total

income earned by non-Hong Kong residents from within Hong Kong.

Data on transactions and assets and liabilities of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region vis-à-vis the mainland of China are treated as international transactions. Examples are trade in goods, trade in services and external factor income flows. Source: National Income Branch (2), Census and Statistics Department.
