for more I've looked there and our wonderful
administrations provide data with a dropper.
A table showing the variation has changed over the past eight years for which data are income per capita of Extremadura, compared
with Spain and the European Union.
As with any economic analysis one can choose to be pessimistic or optimistic.
I prefer to be cautiously optimistic. Let first to the pessimistic. The first thing one might expect from the table is that we're pretty
Extremadura poorer than English, and much poorer than the European average .
levels vary, but in 2008 had a Extremadura
GDP per capita which involved 70% of the income of an average English and 61% of an average European.
us go to the optimistic data.
growth average income per capita of Extremadura in recent years has been, quite simply, spectacular . In 8 years
income per capita a
Extremadura had almost doubled, with annual growth rates
between 2000 and 2007 exceeded 3.6%.
But make no mistake. Extremadura explosion was due in large part to assistance from the Compensation Fund
Interregional EU providing
, the compensation
of English as well as all kinds of development aid.
The agricultural sector is still three times higher the national average, skilled human resources are still lacking in many productive activities,
lack of large and medium willing to invest capital in a region with underdeveloped infrastructure, lack
and technology and industrial firms able to appropriate transform the resources we have in the region, except perhaps, a growing agro-processing sector
in its early stages of development.
not know which will be the impact of the crisis in Extremadura Extremadura and . But I do know is that close now tap state investment by 33% can
catastrophic consequences. Now we're getting closer
the goal, is like putting
tripping. To give an example to other community quite poor, AndalucĂa
investment is going to reduce by 26%. To us, as we are still poorer than them, more.
I said that public officials have a duty tremendous Extremadura ahead. have to make themselves heard in
and Extremadura in Spain, and to understand they can not pay like the reductions
of autonomous investment poor and rich, because it goes against everything
ideological principle of equality, we believe in many, most of those who voted in Extremadura
at least. Wealthy communities have more resources to overcome the crisis, resources that, in cases such as Extremadura
not only lacking in crisis, lacking even without crisis.
yet I have not heard to none.
