Put graphically the relative shares of GNP in 1980 in a hypothetical, integrated
economy, compared with how they were with de facto division, look something like
the following (Figure 6.3 below):

The first column shows the combined income of the island as a whole in 1980
(C£863 million 1980 Cyprus Pounds) with the projected income of C£788 million
adjacent to it. The third column shows Greek-Cypriot income
in 1980 (C£787
million) adjacent to its projected share (C£674 million). The fifth column shows the
actual income of the (then) "Turkish Federated State of Northern Cyprus" in 1980
(C£76 million) next to its projected share (C£114 million). The first point to note is
that the actual combined income of the two de facto économies is greater than the
projected income from the no war, no division assumption. However, in 1980
(when Turkish-Cypriot exports peaked as a proportion of imports) they appear to be
50% worse off than they would have been had growth trends persisted, whilst
Greek-Cypriots appear to be 14% better off with de facto division.
