List of EU metropolitan areas by GDP

Economic classification of the EU

A metropolitan area's gross domestic product, or GDP, is one of several measures of the size of its economy. Similar to GDP, GMP is defined as the market value of all final goods and services produced within a metropolitan area in a given period of time. In this case the statistics of Eurostat's[1] Urban Audit for larger urban zones have been used.

Paris metropolitan area has the largest GDP in the European Union (€783 billion). Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region has the second largest GDP in the European Union (€536 billion). Munich Metropolitan Region has the third largest GDP in the European Union (€361 billion). Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region has the fourth largest GDP in the European Union (€300 billion). Berlin/Brandenburg Metropolitan Region has the fifth largest GDP in the European Union (€291 billion).

## 2020/2022 ranking

[edit]

This list is described as a list of metropolitan areas defined as Larger urban zones by Eurostat, but the GDP figures are sourced either from Eurostat's list of GDPs for metropolitan regions (which is a separate Eurostat definition from the metropolitan area, often bigger than the metropolitan area), or from Eurostat's list of GDPs for EU regions (which is a separate Eurostat definition from the metropolitan region, as they cover whole NUTS-2 and not only one or some NUTS-3), or from a website which lists GDPs for metropolitan regions as defined by the German government (which is a separate definition incomparable to Eurostat's metropolitan areas or metropolitan regions). GDP values should not be sourced from datasets using incomparable definitions, the article title and lead should not describe definitions mismatched with the ones used for the data.
