Regional gross domestic product (PPS per inhabitant) by NUTS 2 region

GDP (gross domestic product) is an indicator of the output of a country or a region. It reflects the total value of all goods and services produced less the value of goods and services used for intermediate consumption in their production. Expressing GDP in PPS (purchasing power standards) eliminates differences in price levels between countries. Calculations on a per inhabitant basis allow for the comparison of economies and regions significantly different in absolute size. GDP per inhabitant in PPS is the key variable for determining the eligibility of NUTS 2 regions in the framework of the European Union's structural policy.

国内生产总值（gross domestic product，GDP）是衡量国家或地区产出水平的核心经济指标。它反映了所有生产的商品与服务的总价值，扣除生产过程中用于中间消耗的商品与服务的价值。以购买力标准（purchasing power standards，PPS）核算GDP，可消除各国间物价水平的差异。按人均口径开展核算，则可对经济体量绝对规模差异显著的经济体与地区进行横向比较。以PPS核算的人均GDP，是欧盟结构政策框架下判定NUTS 2区域准入资格的关键变量。
