This table presents countries' annual Net National Income (NNI) per capita. The data is in current prices and is converted to US dollars using Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs). NNI is calculated by deducting the consumption of fixed capital (depreciation) from Gross National Income (GNI). GNI is calculated by adding to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) any flows to the domestic economy from other countries of compensation of employees (wages and salaries and employers’ social contributions), property income (e.g. interest and dividends) and taxes less subsidies on production; and by deducting from GDP the equivalent flows from the domestic economy to other countries. The indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the SNA_TABLE2 dataset.
