Gross Domestic Product
GDP of a country is one of the ways of measuring the size of its economy. GDP is defined as the total
market value of all final goods and services produced within a given country in a given period of time
(usually a year). It is also considered the sum of value added at every stage of production (the
intermediate stages) of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time,
and it is expressed in monetary terms. Followings are the three approaches to measuring and
understanding GDP:

184
 i. Expenditure Based
Expenditure-based gross domestic product is total final expenditures at purchasers’ prices (including
the f.o.b. value of exports of goods and services), less the f.o.b. value of imports of goods and
services.
ii. Income Based
Income-based gross domestic product is compensation of employees, plus taxes less subsidies on
production and imports, plus gross mixed income, plus gross operating surplus.
iii. Output Based
Output-based gross domestic product is the sum of the gross values added of all resident producers at
basic prices, plus all taxes less subsidies on products.

Basic Price
The basic price is the amount receivable by the producer from the purchaser for a unit of a good or
service produced as output minus any tax payable, and plus any subsidy receivable, on that unit as a
consequence of its production or sale; it excludes any transport charges invoiced separately by the
producer.

Gross Value added at Basic Prices

Gross value added at basic prices is output valued at basic prices less intermediate consumption valued at
purchasers’ prices.

Gross National Income

GNI measures the total economic growth of a country and takes into consideration income and taxes
earned both internationally and domestically, while GNP only measures the income and taxes earned by
domestic citizens.

Net National Income

Net national income (NNI) is the aggregate value of the balances of net primary incomes summed over
all sectors is described as net national income.
Gross Fixed Capital Formation
The estimates of GFCF in Pakistan are primarily constructed separately for private and public sectors by
economic activity as well as by capital assets. It comprises expenditure incurred on the acquisition of
fixed assets, replacement, additions and major improvements of fixed capital viz. land improvement,
buildings, civil and engineering works, machinery, transport equipment and furniture and fixture.

The definitions are consistent with Balance of Payments Manual, 6th edition (BPM6), published by
