The preliminary 2025 results show that gross domestic product<\/a> (GDP) per capita<\/a> \u2014 expressed in purchasing power standards<\/a> to account for price level differences \u2014 ranged between 68% of the EU<\/a> average in Greece and Bulgaria and 239% in Luxembourg. The EU average itself stood at around \u20ac41,600 in purchasing power terms, providing the common reference point against which all EU countries are measured.<\/p>\n

This information comes from the preliminary estimates of purchasing power parities (PPPs) and GDP for 2025<\/a> published by Eurostat. The article presents a handful of findings from the more detailed Statistics Explained article.<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2025, substantial differences in GDP per capita expressed in purchasing power standards were observed among EU countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just 10 of the EU\u2019s 27 countries came in above the EU average in 2025, a group accounting for around 34% of the EU total population. Alongside Luxembourg and Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Malta and Finland all exceeded the average.<\/p>\n

Much of the rest of the EU clustered within a relatively modest distance of the mean. France, Cyprus, Italy, Czechia, Spain and Slovenia were all within 10% below the EU average, while Lithuania, Portugal and Poland sat roughly 10-20% behind.<\/p>\n

The lowest level of GDP per capita was registered in Bulgaria and Greece, at 32% below the EU average, and Latvia at 29% below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The preliminary 2025 results show that gross domestic product (GDP) per capita \u2014 expressed in purchasing power standards…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[84,4535,1294,24959,87532,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-494862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-data-driven-news","tag-economy","tag-economy-and-finance","tag-ppp","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
