had a higher share of GDP than would be expected from its population size. The economy in the South East (representing 36.3 per cent of UK GDP) dominates the whole economy and its size is more than three times that of any other region (refer also to Figure 9.2). GDP per head is then compared between regions. A figure of more than 100 indicates that GDP per head in that region is higher than the UK average and, conversely, a figure lower than 100 indicates that the region's GDP per head is lower than the national average. (It should be pointed out that, whereas the figures in columns 1 and 2 are percentages of the whole, so that the sum of the figures in each column is 100, the figures in column 3 are index numbers -- comparing GDP per head in a region with UK GDP per head.) A figure of 119.4 indicates that GDP per head in the South East was 19.4 per cent above the average in 1988. Furthermore, the South East can be seen to have been the
