REGIONAL GVA TRENDS

In terms of regional economic growth performance, the mostrecently published data on Regional GVA (Gross Value Added) and Disposable Incomes is for 2007. The average value added per person generated in the Southern and Eastern region was 11.2% above the State average in 2007. The level of GVA per person in the Southern and Eastern region increased by 57.1% in the period 2000 to 2007 while the GVA per person in the Border, Midlands and Western region increased by 53.6% during the same period.

The gross value added per person in the Border, Midland and Western NUTS2 region was 69.3% of the State average in 2007, down from 71.0% in 2006. When measured against the EU average it has decreased from 103.2% in 2006 to 102.7% in 2007. At the NUTS3 regional level, the Dublin region had the highest GVA per person in 2007 at 41.2% above the State average. The combined Dublin plus Mid East region in 2007 was 22.8% above the State average. The level of GVA per person in this region has exceeded the State average by at least 17% in each year since 2000. Dublin and Mid East regions are combined together as they are aff ected signifi cantly by workers living in one region and commuting to work in the other. Meanwhile the Midland region has the lowest GVA per person in 2007 at 65.8% of the State average.

Over the period 2000 to 2006, the output from the Region grew by 12.1 % compared to 15.2% for the BMW Region, it is important to note however that the BMW Region grew for a much lower base. The S&E Region contributed 81.1% of total national GVA in 2005 this fi gure has fl uctuated within one percentage point over the period under consideration and stood at 80.7% in latest fi gures released from the CSO . What is clear from the fi gures below is that Irelands economy during 2000-2006 has been largely driven by the Dublin and South-West Region while the remaining regions have struggled to make any signifi cant gains outside their historical share of national output.
