  1. Welcome to Objective 2 programme Dinant-Philippeville Belgium DG REGIO/Unit D3/PL

  2. 1.1 Description of the current situation The districts of Dinant and Philippeville, in the province of Namur, have lower rates of growth than the averages recorded by Belgium as a whole and the Union. This is more acute in the case of Dinant than in that Philippeville, even though per capita GDP there in 1997 stood at only about 67 compared with 84 for Dinant. The situation in the districts in the province of Luxembourg is comparatively less worrying. In 1997, per capita GDP in Bastogne and Marche-en-Famenne stood at 98 and 107 respectively (EU = 100). Marche-en-Famenne is also noteworthy for its rate of wealth creation, which exceeded those of Belgium and the Union as a whole over the period 1993-97. The district of Neufchâteau, by contrast, has both a lower level of per capita GDP than the Union average (97) and a lower rate of growth over the programming period. DG REGIO/Unit D3/PL
