The Gross National Product (GNP) is an estimation of the total value of all final products and services produced in a given period by the means of production owned by the residents of a country. GNP is generally calculated by adding personal consumption expenditures, private domestic investment, government spending, net exports, and any income earned by residents from overseas investments, and then subtracting the income earned within the domestic economy by foreign residents. Net exports are the difference between what a country exports and what it imports in the form of goods and services. Thus, the GNP of a country calculates the output of a country's residents without any care for where the economic activity is happening.

The formula for calculating Gross National Product (GNP) is: Y = C + I + G + X + Z

where

C – Consumption ExpenditureI – InvestmentG – Government ExpenditureX – Net Exports (Value of imports minus value of exports)Z – Net Income (Net income inflow from abroad minus net income outflow to foreign countries)

Y - Gross National Product
