[mcgillianaire]

"Inner London is the richest region in the EU's 27 countries, surpassing Luxembourg, Brussels, Hamburg and Ile-de-France, new figures from Eurostat showed yesterday. The EU's statistical office said that GDP per inhabitant in inner London in 2005 was more than three times the EU average or 303% - compared with the lowest of 24% in north-eastern Romania. Inner London traditionally ranks behind Frankfurt and Paris as Europe's richest city but Eurostat's figures, expressed in purchasing power, put it ahead of Luxembourg (264% of the average), Brussels (241%), Hamburg (202%), Vienna (178%) and the Ile de France, including the French capital (173%)."
