GVA by Industries - Growth areas in the UK

The following is a simple exercise of comparing GVA levels of 2008 and 1995.

In England of the 93 regions as defined by the ONS the industries that grew the most are:

56 Business services and finance
28 Public administration, education, health and other services
09 Distribution, transport and communication

During the same period there was a decline in production in 30 of the regions.

In Wales of the 12 regions the industries that grew the most are:

11 Public administration, education, health and other services.
07 Business services and finance

Data from ONS - 3:8 GVA1,2 by 6 industries (constrained to headline NUTS2) at current basic prices. And as always my usual disclaimer about comparing regions using GVA.
