The Bucharest-Ilfov region is among the EU regions with the highest growth in GDP per capita in the 2019-2024 period, according to Eurostat<\/a>, alongside regions in Ireland, Malta, and France.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most robust GDP growth was recorded in the Irish capital region of Eastern and Midland, which also had the highest GDP per inhabitant in 2024, as GDP rose 38.0% between 2019 and 2024. The other 2 Irish regions also saw very high increases: Northern and Western up 36.4% (the 2nd highest in the EU) and Southern up 26.0% (6th highest),\u201d Eurostat stated.<\/p>\n

Outside Ireland, the highest growth rates were recorded in the Bucharest-Ilfov region (33%), Malta (32.9%), and the French outermost region of Mayotte (32.1%).<\/p>\n

Overall, EU GDP grew by an average of 5.6% in real terms between 2019 and 2024. Of the 244 level 2 regions in the EU\u2019s common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS 2), 197 regions experienced growth.<\/p>\n

Almost all of the EU\u2019s capital regions recorded an expansion in economic activity during the period under consideration, with Helsinki-Uusimaa in Finland being the only exception, as GDP fell 1.9% in real terms.<\/p>\n

At the same time, GDP per capita declined in 46 regions and remained unchanged in a single region \u2014 Ciudad de Ceuta, in Spain.<\/p>\n

The Bulgarian region of Yugoiztochen recorded the largest contraction in economic activity over the 2019-2024 period, with GDP falling by 20.5%.<\/p>\n

Eurostat also showed that four other regions recorded double-digit contractions, namely Dytiki Makedonia (Greece), down 18%; Groningen (the Netherlands), down 14%; and Sud-Muntenia and Sud-Vest Oltenia (both in Romania), down 13.5% and 11.3%, respectively.<\/p>\n
