Poland ranked 14th in EU in consumption per head

Meanwhile, Poland's level of actual individual consumption reached 87% of the EU average in 2022, up from 85% in 2021, placing the country 14th in the EU league table, alongside Slovenia and Portugal, according to the study.

Luxembourg came first, with individual consumption levels at 138% of the EU average, followed by Austria and Germany on 118%, officials told reporters.

While GDP is mainly an "indicator of the level of economic activity," actual individual consumption (AIC) is an alternative indicator, better adapted to describe the "material welfare of households," Eurostat said.

💰In 2022, in the EU, actual individual consumption (AIC) per capita, expressed in purchasing power standards (PPS), varied from 69% of the EU average in 🇧🇬Bulgaria to 138% in 🇱🇺Luxembourg.
