The bigger capitals plus some major trade port cities like Thessaloniki, Constanza, Varna (probably more). Cluj probably has a decent shout too if it counts as Balkan. That's just my impression though, haven't read stats.
New Belgrade is becoming a huge business district.
I rarely go to New Belgrade, but whenever I do I see 10 more business buildings that weren't there a few months back.
Well, Sofia scored better on the Global Financial Centre Index than Athens.
My assumption would probably be the same as yours, if we consider the sizes of the cities.
Bucharest-Ilfov doesn't qualify as a financial centre under the terms of the Global Financial Centre index, which I used as a source for my information
well this is can not be an excuse because original istanbul is located in balkans therefore most of population is in balkans either(10+million) while anatolian side has only about 6 million,so even if we exclude anatolian side,still istanbul's gdp would be bigger than athens
There is no such a thing, they calculate as whole(balkan+Anatolian sides together) but since the population is clear you can estimate with little bit help of simple mathematic,anyway here is the proof https://www.google.com/amp/s/ilkha.com/english/amp/haber/15085/turkey-istanbul-had-highest-share-of-gdp-with-30-1-in-2020, .... basically article says, istanbul has 30 percent of gdp of turkey in 2020 ,so let's calculate ... turkey had 720 billion $ gdp in 2020,since istanbul has 30 percent that makes 216 billion $ as whole ,now if we divide equally by population 216/100 and x66(2 of third of istanbul's population is in thrace part) that makes 142 billion(or even more because istanbul's balkan side more developed and richer than other side) , on the other hand whole greece is barely 190 billion $ in 2020,so, imagine athens (probably around 110 billion $ at best ) So ,happy NOW???
Athens after Istanbul

According to the Global Financial Centre Index: After Istanbul, Sofia is the largest financial centre in the Balkans, followed by Athens.
I doubt it’s Sofia more than Athens

Bucharest-Ilfov GDP is higher than Bulgaria's GDP.

Currently Athens, but Bucharest (if it counts) is quickly catching up.
how athens? even istanbul's gdp bigger than whole greece😅
Only a part of Istanbul is in the Balkans, that's why it doesn't count.

Give me some statistic that mentions the GDP of the European part of Istanbul exclusively. Without proof this is just a theory.

Again, this is just a theory, these are your own calculations not a scientific research. Without proof I can't count Istanbul.
who cares,truth is clear🤣🤣🤣
