The Policy Department, of the British colonial government that usurps the Malvinas Islands from the Argentine Republic, has published a document that they call: “National Accounts of the Islands”; segmented in the period between 2011 and 2022.
They include “the Gross National Product (GNP), both in nominal and real values,” and in turn, “the productive generation of the different sectors of activity and their contributions to the economy in general” during those years.
The information was published today by Mercopress ; the Uruguay-based information website, which serves as an unofficial spokesperson for British interests in the Malvinas.
From that publication, Mercopress takes the nominal data of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the kelpers, for the year 2021 and 2022. Indicating that, 2021 with 276.7 million pounds ( 359.69 million dollars ), it achieved an increase of 7.3 % compared to 2020. And that, in 2022; reached 278.6 million British currency ( 362.29 million dollars ). Which meant an increase of 0.7% over the previous year.
And as has been a constant since 1989 to date, “fishing and aquaculture are by far the industries that contribute the most.” Representing - says the media - something like 58.8% and 59% of the GDP, in nominal terms of 2021 and 2022. Although in both cases, somewhat less than their immediate previous years, 59.2% in 2020 and 60 .1% in 2019.
In such a way, the per capita income based on the GDP of the kelpers, estimated by themselves; It was 83,100 pounds in 2021 and 83,200 pounds in 2022. Which, in the current monetary conversion, is equivalent in both cases to a figure greater than 108 thousand dollars per inhabitant; or about 99,682,174.80 million pesos.
The same thing happens with the so-called Gross National Product, estimated at 56,800 for both years. A figure very close to $74,000.
