    Eurostat: Cyprus third among EU candidates in per capita GDP

    Nicosia, Jan 30 (CNA)-- Cyprus ranks third in per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) among candidate countries for European Union accession, according to the EU's statistic service Eurostat.

    Statistics, released Tuesday by Eurostat, said that four regions recorded per capita GDP in 1999 of at least 75 percent of the EU average in the same year, with Prague, in the Czech Republic with 124%, Bratislava in Slovakia with 95% and Cyprus with 85%.

    Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovenia each comprise a single region.

    Cyprus opened accession negotiations with the EU in 1998 and is considered to be a front-runner among candidate countries, as it has provisionally closed 24 out of 29 chapters of the acquis communautaire.

    GDP and per capita GDP are indicators of a country's or a region's output and are thus a way of measuring and comparing the degree of economic development of countries or regions.
