Formula
GNI = GDP + Net primary income from ROW (Receipts less payments)
Gross Capital Formation= Gross Savings+ Net Capital Inflow from ROW
Gross Disposable Income of Govt. = GFCE (Government Final Consumption Expenditure) + Gross Saving of General Government.
Real GDP=When nominal GDP is adjusted with inflation, it is called Real GDP. Nominal GDP often shows higher than Real GDP.
