NUTS-3 ES220 · Spain
Navarra
Navarra generates €25bn of GDP across 683.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 61.7/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +4.3%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (99.5th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (24th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable60 → 57 EU percentile since 1995 (-3 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.
