NUTS-3 CZ064 · Czechia
Jihomoravský kraj
Jihomoravský kraj generates €35bn of GDP across 1.2m residents. Its Opportunity Index of 63.5/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +7.4%/yr over five years, with the employment rate up 2.4pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for jobs (88.5th EU percentile) and weakest for health (21.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard22 → 27 EU percentile since 1995 (+6 ranks)
Yearly EU-wide percentile of real GDP per head (ARDECO regional accounts, constant 2020 prices, derived over population). 50 = the EU median that year; percentiles are scale-free, so decades are directly comparable. See the backtest for what long-run prosperity ranks do — and don't — anticipate.
