I have made an error in this piece which was pointed out to me by Chrisitine, in her comment below. I mistakenly compared Cymru's GDP to Spain's when I meant to compare GDP per capita or per person- basically the GDP of a country divided by the population. Its a rubbish method of calculating anything really but it does allow for some crude comaprisons. I could only get the 2020 figures for both countries, as follows, Wales £23,882 and Spain £20,548. Thanks for pointing out the omission, Christine. I will ask my host to make the correction.
Loved this article, very inspiring what has been achieved by the people of Cymru. I just have a niggle about your comparison of GDP with that of Spain - it’s nowhere near that of Spain!! I think you probably meant GDP per head which is nearer the mark. Sorry to be pedantic but quoting inaccurate statistics undermines credibility and lessens the impact of what you are trying to achieve.
From Chris Dixon- thanks for your positive comments Christine and my apologies for the error- you are not being pedantic, you're being accurate and honest! I picked up the Spain GDP figure from an article in our local paper, the Cambrian News, which I now cannot find- In future I will make sure I double check facts before using them! Hwyl!
