economy

Mazovia is the wealthiest region in Poland. Compared with the GDP of the EU expressed in purchasing power standards , the province reached 2,015 an index of 109 (EU = 100; other Polish regions 47-76). This is mainly due to the economically very strong region around Warsaw. Overall, the gross domestic product in 2015 was over 95 billion euros, which is just under a quarter of the country's economic output.

With a value of 0.902, Mazovia ranks first among the 16 Voivodeships of Poland in the Human Development Index .

The unemployment rate was 14.8% in 2005 and dropped to 8.2% by April 2016. There are great differences within the Masovian Voivodeship. The only Polish district with an unemployment rate of more than 30% ( Powiat Szydłowiecki ) is here.
