This article presents estimates of sub-regional and local area GDP at current basic prices for 1993-1998. Estimates for all years are provisional, and are consistent with the workplace based estimates of Regional GDP published by ONS on 27 February 2001.
These estimates are published consistent with the European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA95) for the first time, and are at basic prices, that is, they include taxes less subsidies on production.
The provisional estimates show that:
In 1998, sub-regional GDP per head was highest in Inner London, at £30,700, nearly two and half times the UK average of £12,500. Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly had the lowest GDP per head at £8,200 (Table 1).
Between 1997 and 1998, GDP per head grew by more than two per cent in every sub-region of the UK (Table 1).
At the local area level, in 1998, GDP per head was highest in Inner London -West, at £57,300, and lowest in Sefton, East Lothian and Midlothian, and Wirral, between about £7,300 and £7,500 per head (Table A & Table 3).
