5. Question
Consider the following statements in the context of the Indian economy :
1. Gross Fixed Capital Formation is lower than Private Final Consumption Expenditure.
2. Per capita Gross National Product is always higher than per capita Gross Domestic Product.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?CorrectAnswer: A
The Per capita Gross National Product (GNP) is not always higher than the per capita Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) because GDP measures the production of goods and services made within a country’s
borders by both citizens and foreign residents, whereby GNP accounts for its citizen’s production both
within and outside its borders.
Therefore, if a country has many citizens working and producing goods and services abroad, its per
capita GNP may be higher than its per capita GDP.
Conversely, if a country has a large number of foreign workers producing goods and services within
its borders, it’s per capita GDP may be higher than its per capita GNP.
