PIL pro capite regionale (PPS, in euro). Ci sono un sacco di sorprese qui, non è vero?

Like… what do you mean?
While the presence of Prague and especially Bucharest and Budapest can be surprises, this just shows the huge difference between them and rest of their countries. And this is not necessarily a good thing.
Prague being fourth is certainly a surprise.
Are there? What Prague and Bucareste? Not that strange that capitals of poorer countries have all the headquarters of companies (local and foreign) and get a lot of gdp for that.
GDP per capita (PPP) doesn’t make much sense in this context, especially when some countries treat single cities, like Bucharest and Prague, as separate regions. It doesn’t account for commuters from peripheral areas or neighboring towns. Since capitals attract thousands, if not millions, of commuters daily, and per capita measurements focus solely on residents, not all workers, this creates a distortion. It makes big cities appear more prosperous than they are, while surrounding areas seem poorer. This is similar to how, in Italian national statistics, towns bordering Switzerland appear to have little to no income, when in fact, much of their income isn’t visible to Italian authorities despite that income being in fact brought to Italy but is counted in the Swiss towns they commute to for work despite that income on the other hand leaving Switzerland and not staying there. Moreover, PPP doesn’t account for price variations within the same country and uses a national average. I doubt that prices are the same in Bucharest, Timișoara, Craiova, or in Prague, Brno, and Ostrava.
Prague and Warsaw over Vienna and Stuttgart?🤔
No Frankfurt am Main?
Luxemburg and Ireland are cheating because they are tax havens.
The Southern region being no1 isn’t even down to MNCs in Ireland, it’s down to ONE corporation. Apple EU headquarters are there, literally one company carrying the whole region
South aka Cork, kings of Europe. As it should be 💪
This is so ill-defined it’s not even wrong.
E.g.: micro-regions with a lot of incoming commuters overstate per Capita values.
And that’s without taking into account non-productive transfer pricing shenanigans by global giants.
Wow Southern Ireland seems really wealthy, I sure hope that prosperity is enjoyed by the people there and not a couple of American corporations
Ireland and Luxembourg have a lot of foreign corporations registered there so I don’t know how much those statistics are worth
Don‘t forget this is linked to purchasing power
Is Ireland skewed by having so many companies based there as a tax dodge?
What happened to Groningen Province? They used to be No.1 !?!
Hey, we’re there! At the bottom!
Would be nice if we saw any of that GDP, it’s just being used to fund North Holland’s asphalt addiction.
Tax fraud Olympics 👍
Shame this data in the list are old
Companies aside this is also heavily skewed by millionaires, for example in Bremen and Hamburg.
Kinda doubt if these number are correct. It says that Warsaw has 3mil population, it has around 1.8mil. Well…
