What this measures
Gross savings are the difference between gross national income and public and private consumption, plus net current transfers. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI) which is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad.
Limitations: Because gross savings is calculated as a residual it includes errors, which may not be offsetting, in its components.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
