Abstract

A comparison of the characteristics of the economic and social processes in Hungary with those in the other member states of the European Union is essential for making an objective judgement of our situation and for setting the tasks of our development activities. The region of Northern Hungary is ranked last among the regions of Hungary. This means that the region faces a long and difficult process in the convergence process.

As a conclusion of the investigation some selected indicators were used to determine the development level of some regions of the EU-25. Based on the cluster analysis, 174 regions were classified in the cluster of the developed regions according to the average values of the indicators, while 82 regions had to be ranked among the underdeveloped regions. Due to the unfavourable values of its indicators, the region of Northern Hungary was put among the underdeveloped regions, sharing the fate of other regions in Hungary and most regions in Central Europe.
