Paris one of the richest agglomerations of the world
Paris Ile-de-France is classified in the 18th world place in PIB/habitant, by taking account of the purchasing power parity.
It is the second of the three nonAmerican areas classified among 25 richer in the world.
For the international experts, the functional area of Paris gathers 11,2 million inhabitants and corresponds to the Ile-de-France, London being evaluated to 7,4 million and Tokyo to 34 million.
The American functional areas monopolize the first places. The largest agglomerations concentrate an important richness.
One can also note that London, Tokyo and Stockholm agglomerate more than 30% of the GDP of their country with 1/5 of the population.
The Ile-de-France concentrates 27,9% of the French economic activity. For OECD, the large metropolises will not be able all to become leader in the sectors of state-of-the-art technologies.
They must seek solid and viable niches apart from the crenels high-tech.

Its cultural network must be redeployed towards the most dynamic zones economically, like Asia, the Central European countries and Eastern, Russia and the Middle East.
The deputy proposes to create a “mark” of reference, with the image of British Council for Great Britain.
The organization of the action external of France in the fields of the culture, the co-operation and the development assistance must be re-examined, in particular by transforming the Head office of the international cooperation and development (DGCID) into a lighter direction cash about fifty people (500 currently) and organized around two poles, one in charge of the cultural radiation, the other devoted to the development policies.
The deputy insists on the need for gathering the means. The economic missions, which must be attached to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, must concentrate on a role of animation and control, and less on one mission of expertise, while the chambers of commerce and of industry must be more associated with the device with support for exports.

 Paris Ile-de-France with the eighteenth world rank of the functional economic territories
In its Competitive study cities in the total economy, the Cooperation organization and of economic development (OECD) established the prize list of the big cities and their backs country, which form a functional economic territory.
One finds here work of the Gemaca project of the IAURIF on the economic performances of the European areas.
This study of OECD reviews the first 78 functional areas of zone OECD. Paris Ile-de-France is classified in the 18th world place in PIB/habitant, by taking account of the purchasing power parity.
It is the second of the three nonAmerican areas classified among 25 richer in the world.
For the international experts, the functional area of Paris gathers 11,2 million inhabitants and corresponds to the Ile-de-France, London being evaluated to 7,4 million and Tokyo to 34 million.
The American functional areas monopolize the first places. The largest agglomerations concentrate an important richness. One can also note that London, Tokyo and Stockholm agglomerate more than 30% of the GDP of their country with 1/5 of the population. The Ile-de-France concentrates 27,9% of the French economic activity.
For OECD, the large metropolises will not be able all to become leader in the sectors of state-of-the-art technologies. They must seek solid and viable niches apart from the crenels high-tech.
The economic competitiveness unequally divided into Europe, according to the quarterly study of Eurostat, there exist important cost differences of labour in the various countries of Europe, which influences competitiveness.
The labor costs increased six times more quickly in France than in Germany, that is to say 3,1 and 0,5%.
This difference is explained by a strong wage moderation in Germany because in particular of massive reorganizations. Germany became more competitive than France, which could make lose in France of the market shares in countries like Italy or Spain.
Germany chose an economic policy opposed to that of France, by improving its revenues from taxes by the rise in the VAT, effective at next January 1, to compensate in the budget of the reductions of load granted the companies.
This phenomenon can weigh on the household consumption and penalize exports French.
Contrary, from share the choice of an expansionist policy containing falls of taxes to dope consumption, the French will buy more German products.
In the Baltic States, the wages increased strongly but remain still weak and competitive. The novel members are in phase of correction and must in particular invest to improve their infrastructures.
