GNP is a measure of the total income earned by residents of a country or territory from engaging in various economic activities, irrespective of whether the economic activities are carried out within the economic territory or outside. GNP is obtained by adding net external factor income flows (i.e. external factor income inflow minus external factor income outflow) to GDP of the same year.

(1) A technical feature of the chain volume measures was that for earlier years, the sum of net external

factor income flows and GDP might not be equal to GNP.
