Hi.
I'm looking for an "official" reference (a World Bank glossary, IMF glossary, etc.) where it states that GNP can be translated as PIB or PBI. My client changed all my PBIs to PIBs, and I'm trying to indicate that my choice was just fine. Please help!
Thanks
Sandra

PNB
Perdona que te corrija pero creo GNP es el producto Nacional Bruto. (PNB) GDP equivale a PIB. De donde saco tu cliente la expresion PBI? No existe en español

PBI and PIB
Both versions are correct but with a simple Google search for PBI there are 89.800 answers instead for PIB the answers are 137.000.
International Monetary Fund glossary gives you another version: PNB (producto nacional bruto):

: PBI (en realidad incorrecto) era muy difundido en el Cono Sur, pero se está haciendo un esfuerzo para eliminarlo. El Banco Central Argentino ya utiliza PIB en sus publicaciones.

Por lo menos en el Cono Sur, PBI es muchísimo más frecuente que PIB. ¡Suerte!

Discussion
So it looks like neither term is accurate. As to the difference between PIB/PBI, it may be a question of usage by country. PIB is most definitely the standard term in Spain. :)
When the value of income from abroad is included - what domestic companies earn abroad, minus what foreign companies earn here and send overseas - then the GDP becomes the GNP.
