The GDP Gap

This map highlights the massive difference in GDP per capita between capital cities and the rest of the country in parts of Eastern Europe.

📍 For example:
Warsaw 🇵🇱: €40,000 vs. rest of Poland €18,250
Prague 🇨🇿: €62,200 vs. rest of Czechia €24,340
Budapest 🇭🇺: €44,900 vs. rest of Hungary €15,320
Bratislava 🇸🇰: €45,200 vs. rest of Slovakia €18,990
Bucharest 🇷🇴: €41,600 vs. rest of Romania €13,630

The contrast shows how economic activity is heavily concentrated in capital regions, leaving the rest of the country far behind.

💭 What do you think – is this centralization of wealth sustainable for long-term growth, or does it widen inequality too much?
