This shows that in 2002 (the latest year available), Scottish GDP wasestimated to be £73 billion at current basic prices, resulting in an average GDPper head of £14,440. The UK equivalent (excluding extra-regio activity) was £15,259.This implies that, for the same population in Scotland in 2002, the average GDPper head would need to have been £820 higher (i.e. £4.1 billion or 5.7% on totalGDP) in order to reach the same level as the UK average (note that this would, inturn, result in an increase in the actual average UK GDP/head).Based on the Scottish Executive quarterly GDP series, Scottish GDP grew by 1.6% in real terms from 2002to 2003, whereas the UK grew by 1.8% overall (including extra-regio).
