Chart of the month January

At the beginning of the year we want to take a look at the development of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita through the past 20 years. The chart shows a steady upward trend in all four Centrope countries, with two significant points: the effects of the global financial crisis in 2007/2008 and the cuts resulting from the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. As the GDP is significantly higher in Austria, these two factors are much more pronounced in Austria's curve. The incipient recession is also reflected more strongly in the Austrian data than in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

These are the names of the four Centrope coutries in their respective languages (and English):

CentropeMAP/STATISTICS is a cross-border information system and free geoportal of the Austrian Planning Association East (PGO) which gives planners, decision makers, researchers, teachers, students and everyone else interested a better overview of the Centrope region.

CentropeMAP is a geoportal connecting the region by collecting web map services from the partner countries. The services are brought together in a single map viewer and allow the user to experience a cross-border working area with dozens of data layers dealing with all topics which could be of interest for regional planners and similar professions. Layers are coming from the fields of biota, boundaries, elevation, imagery/base maps, inland waters, planning/cadastre, structure, and transportation.

CentropeSTATISTICS is the only available free web tool to visualise cross-border statistical data in its own connected geoportal allowing the user to influence the way of visualisation in multiple ways in the Centrope region. CentropeSTATISTICS can not only create maps, it also serves charts which are interactively created from the data in the cross-border database. For the Czech Republic, CentropeSTATISTICS does not only cover the Centrope county Jihomoravský, but also features data from the counties Vysočina and Jihočesky which are also adjacent or close to the Austrian border.
