The Basque Country has a GDP (PPP) of 108 [1]. Higher than France (101), as an average, or Italy (97).

I'd say its a well developed region comparable to Northern Italy. Both were badly hit by the Euro. Had they kept their own currencies, they'd be closer to Sweden or Southern Germany.

Oh, I agree on that. I'm sure had we kept our currency, we would have suffered much less.
