Explanation

The value of all final goods and services produced by the normal residents of a country, regardless of whether they operate within the domestic territory or abroad, is defined as Gross National Income (GNI) or Gross National Product (GNP) [6]. While Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures production within a country's borders [2], GNI focuses on the income and output accruing to residents and their property [7]. GNI is calculated by adding net factor income from abroad (such as property income, interest, and dividends) to the GDP [7]. Historically, this measure was referred to as GNP, but modern national accounting standards often use GNI to emphasize it as an income concept rather than just a production concept [2]. Since the question specifies 'gross' value and includes residents' activities outside the country without deducting depreciation, it refers to Gross National Income [5].
