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 external transactions. Examples are trade in goods, trade in services and external factor income flows.

Figures are subject to revisions later on.

** Since August 2000, the "resident population" approach has been adopted in place of the "extended de facto" approach for compiling Hong Kong population figures. Revised population figures backdated to 1996 have been compiled. In this table, figures on per capita GNP are compiled based on the new approach.
