Gross domestic product (GDP) per person in Italy 2022, by macro-region

The northern regions had the highest amount of Gross Domestic Product per capita in the whole country in 2022. In fact, this indicator stood at around 40,000 euros per inhabitant. In southern Italy, instead, the GDP per resident was about 20,000 euros, the half compared to the one recorded in the north. These figures well represent the deep economic divide that Italy has been constantly facing between the northern regions, more industrialized and more densely populated, and the south, economically disadvantaged and with a profoundly negative internal migration rate.
