THE DATA BEHIND THE MAPSSTATISTICAL METHODS

Explore the Statistics Behind Each EU Map.How to Read the EU Maps

Understand the indicators used in the examples, their reference years, and how each color band is defined.GDP per capita uses PPS, with EU = 100. Government debt measures the outstanding debt of general government relative to GDP.

GDP PER CAPITA IN PPS

EU average = 100 · 2025

Purchasing power standards adjust for price differences between countries. A value of 120 means GDP per person is 20% above the EU level.

This index is not a salary or household disposable income measure.

GOVERNMENT DEBT / GDP

2025 annual gross government debt

Compare the outstanding general government debt relative to each country's economic output, expressed as a percentage.

Government debt is a stock; the annual deficit is a flow.
