Interesting map o' the day
Courtesy of Eurostat.
The map needs clicking for any degree of legibility, but I think it is worth it.
The highlights noted by Eurostat are these:
Regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per inhabitant (in purchasing power standards) in 2006 differed widely across the 275 regions of the EU, Croatia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. In Inner London (United Kingdom) it was 336% of the EU-27 average, while in Nord-Est (Romania) it was only 25% of the EU-27 average.
Elsewhere, the author notes 'We find the largest regional differences in the United Kingdom, where there is a factor of 4.3 between the highest and lowest values

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Doesn't look good for Wales or Northern Ireland, especially considering that these data are from before the Pound crashed against the Euro.
Indeed not. I can't help thinking that Dublin rather skews things for the Irish south west etc.
Ain't no doubt about it - the disparity with the southerners is marked. Mind you, you have such a high cost of living too.
