The difference between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross National Product (GNP) is the net income from abroad. GDP is the total value of goods and services produced within a country's borders in a given period, regardless of the nationality of the producers, while GNP is the total value of goods and services produced by a country's citizens, regardless of their location, in a given period. GNP takes into account net income earned abroad by a country's citizens and businesses, while GDP does not. Therefore, if a country has a positive net income from abroad, its GNP will be higher than its GDP, and if it has a negative net income from abroad, its GNP will be lower than its GDP.
