Economic growth has lagged that of most EU countries; from 2001 to 2006, real GDP per capita growth averaged only 0.1% a year. Although R&D spending has grown faster than GDP (9% a year on average between 1995 and 2006), R&D intensity remains very low (at 0.83% of GDP in 2006). The government sector still accounts for most research funding, although industryfinanced R&D increased from 0.11 to 0.29% of GDP from 1995 to 2005.
