Gers
Export region data (CSV)Gers generates €5.1bn of GDP across 192.4k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 39/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by livability and economic growth. Its economy has grown +3.4%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 4.7pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (97.7th EU percentile) and weakest for economy (32th).
