Paris Region Facts and Figures 2021 lays out a panorama of the
Region’s economic dynamism and social life, positioning it among
the leading regions in Europe and worldwide.

Despite the global pandemic, the figures presented in this

as the data reflects the reality of the previous months or year.*
With its fundamental key indicators, the brochure, “Paris Region
Facts and Figures 2021,” is a tool for decision and action for
companies and economic stakeholders.
It is useful to economic and political leaders of the Region and to all
who wish to have a global vision of this dynamic regional economy.

Paris Region Facts and Figures 2021 is a collaborative publication
produced by Choose Paris Region, L’Institut Paris Region, and the
Paris Île-de-France Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
