Three parts of Wales remain near the bottom of the GDP league table.

Anglesey has the fourth lowest GDP per head in the whole of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ - although it wasn’t long ago when the island was right at the bottom of the productivity table.

Its GDP figure - a calculation of the value of goods and services produced - for 2018 is £17,781, up 3.8 per cent on the previous year.

This was before the shelving of the £12bn Wylfa Newydd nuclear plant development.

Gwent Valleys (£17,908) and Central Valleys (£17,950) were also in the bottom 10 for the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ.

In the Gwent Valleys the figure has increased by 2.9 per cent over the year while the Central Valley had seen a fall in productivity of 4 per cent.

Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan had a GDP per head of £31,824 - the best performing part of Wales.
