Final Report Lot 9: Public street lighting - Amper

Economic growth is not uniformly distributed across countries, but the convergence of
Member States’ economies (including ACC) is assumed to continue over the projection
period. Furthermore, the integration of ACC into the European Union is assumed to generate
accelerated growth for their economies.
However, the convergence of ACC economies towards EU-15 levels remain far from
complete even by 2030 (see table underneath). Despite much faster growth of per capita
income projected in ACC then in EU-15 (+3,7% pa in 2000-2030 compared to +2,2% pa), per
capita GDP in ACC (expressed in purchasing power standards) amounts to 69,3% of the
corresponding EU-15 figure in 2030 (compared, however, to only 44,5% in 2000).
