Guyane

Export region data (CSV)

Guyane generates €5.2bn of GDP across 297.5k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 18.2/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +1.1%/yr over five years and cooling, with the employment rate up 0.5pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (41.7th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (0th).

Geometry: GISCO NUTS 2024, EPSG:4326, generalised at 1:3M.
