      I think I know the difference. GDP is gross domestic product, while GNP is gross national product.
      The gross national product is the value of all the services/items produced by the country in the year.
      The gross domestic product includes stuff made by that country's companies abroad as well.

      Right?

            In case you hadn't noticed, this was a fun thread before the likes of you and Serb came around to troll it. Learn from the Finns' example next time.
