  • Data are expressed in terms of Purchasing Power Standards (PPS), a unit that is independent of any national currency and which removes the distortions due to price differences. The PPS values are derived by using Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs), obtained as a weighted average of relative price ratios in respect of a homogeneous basket of goods and services, comparable and representative for each country.

** Inflation measured using the Harmonised Indices of Consumer Prices (HICP)
