Statistics Lithuania reports that, based on provisional data, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in 2009 decreased in all counties. The largest decrease in nominal GDP per capita in 2009 was observed in Utena county – by 20.4%, Kaunas county – by 19%, and Alytus county – by 19.3%; nominal GDP per capita in the whole economy dropped by 17.5%.

Similarly to the previous year, in terms of GDP per capita, compared to the national average, Vilnius (153%) and Klaipėda (108%) counties remained in the lead. Nominal GDP per capita in Vilnius county dropped by 18.5%, in Klaipėda county – by 11.6%, and it was the smallest drop in nominal GDP per capita among counties. 

 

In six counties (Alytus, Marijampolė, Panevėžys, Šiauliai, Tauragė, and Telšiai), GDP per capita did not exceed 80% of the national average. In 2008, there were five such counties.  

 

In 2009, the gap between Vilnius and other regions did not narrow. GDP per capita in Vilnius county was twice as large as those of Alytus, Marijampolė, Panevėžys, Šiauliai, and Tauragė counties.
