Western Europe is one of the richest regions in the World.
All countries have a relatively high GDP, some areas richer than others.
The richest regions in Europe regarding GDP seem to be in and around West Germany. Although it is possible that GDP per person may actually be higher in Switzerland. But it is not included in our survey, given that it is not a EU member state. The highest GDP is found amongst the inhabitants of the Frankfurt and Parisian regions. This is obviously explained by the importance of these towns in the European economy.
