GDP gives a snapshot of a country’s financial performance. GDP or Gross Domestic Product is calculated in terms of the total monetary value of the goods and services produced by a country within a specified time frame. While the world GDP refers to the total of the gross national income of all the countries, the Gross National Income (GNI) takes the value of a country’s GDP, adds up the value of income from imports and subtracts the value of the total exports. The GNI value of a country is different from GDP as it reflects the domestic and international trade impact a country. We can say a country’s GDP sums up its financial health and overall performance. Here are the top 5 GDPs of the world according to the International Monetary Fund.
