The diaries The Province and The Opinion of Tenerife published this Sunday, April 2, a news item entitled \"The Canaries, increasingly poor\", which includes an interview with Mr. José Carlos Francisco, President of Corporación 5.
The news highlights a fact analyzed by Corporación 5: the GDP per capita of the Canary Islands has diverged from the national average since 2000. In 2000, the GDP per capita of the Canary Islands represented 96.74% of the national average, rising to 82.24% in 2015.
This issue will be addressed in greater detail in the 3rd edition of Papeles de Economía Canaria, a collection of studies prepared by Corporación 5 and the DISA Foundation, focused on economic issues of special relevance today.
