The Richest Balkan Countries by GDP 1960 - 2030

The Balkans also known as the Balkan Peninsula, is a geographic area in Southeast Europe with various definitions and meanings, including geopolitical and historical. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains that stretch throughout the whole of Bulgaria from the Serbian–Bulgarian border to the Black Sea coast. The Balkan Peninsula is bordered by the Adriatic Sea in the northwest, the Ionian Sea in the southwest, the Aegean Sea in the south, the Turkish Straits in the east, and the Black Sea in the northeast. The northern border of the peninsula is variously defined. The highest point of the Balkans is Mount Musala, 2,925 metres (9,596 ft), in the Rila mountain range, Bulgaria.

The concept of the Balkan Peninsula was created by the German geographer August Zeune in 1808, who mistakenly considered the Balkan Mountains the dominant mountain system of Southeast Europe spanning from the Adriatic Sea to the Black Sea. The term of Balkan Peninsula was a synonym for Rumelia (European Turkey) in the 19th century, the former provinces of the Ottoman Empire in Southeast Europe.

It had a geopolitical rather than a geographical definition, further promoted during the creation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the early 20th century. The definition of the Balkan Peninsula's natural borders do not coincide with the technical definition of a peninsula and hence modern geographers reject the idea of a Balkan peninsula, while scholars usually discuss the Balkans as a region. The term has acquired a stigmatized and pejorative meaning related to the process of Balkanization, and hence the preferred alternative term used for the region is Southeast Europe.

Impressive how Yugoslavia had a powerful economy!

[valt]

if Romania does the following things:
- fix their "special" pensions and almost equalize the retirement age for ALL types of groups
- stop importing so much useless stuff and just focus on producing more and exporting
- build highways.. lots of them
- improve and develop their railways and especially their Black sea port
- try and lower their corruption
- making a state company that can extract gas and gold (and other resources) for the benefit of their own country
then it will be one of the most powerfull nations in Europe

Our brothers from Greece along with our Bulgarian brothers will be the gateway in Europe for Asian markets, ports in Greece and infrastructure build to connect Europe will benefit our countries greatly. Russia, Austria, Hungary can piss off because they can't stop us. I do hope our Serbian brothers will get on board

Do the same thing with South East Asia because both SEA & Balkan are south east countries for their respective continent Asia & Europe

[LucaAlex-sldy]

Well, Romania will get a huge boost of GDP in 2026/2027, with Black Sea exploitation. So this is 10 - 15 % below what will be the actual GDP

[musicswara]

Never know that Yugoslavia is so strong, just wonder if that nations still present today

[kables_net]

The trend in the last 20 years was for GDP/capita to equalize between countries. So it is normal for a country to have a higher GDP the more inhabitants it has.

[_tracia_]

Why are you obssesed with nominal GDP. GDP PPP only to extent picture the standard of living, with nominal it is even less so

[Sigmamen]
