This table shows Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita (or per person), household final consumption expenditure per capita and actual individual consumption per capita. Final consumption expenditure is the expenditure of resident households on consumption goods or services, while individual consumption is the sum of household consumption plus the individual (not collective) consumption of the non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) and General Government sectors. The indicators are in volume terms and are converted to US dollars using constant Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs).

When using the filters, please note that GDP is selected by default in the ‘Transaction’ filter but you can select the consumption measures using the ‘Transaction’ filter. The ‘Institutional sector’ filter shows that GDP and actual individual consumption relate to the total economy, while household final consumption expenditure relates to households.

The table shows OECD countries and selected economies, as well as the OECD total, OECD Europe, European Union and euro area . These can be selected using the ‘Reference area’ filter.

These indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the SNA_TABLE1 dataset.

The Nordic countries of Iceland, Norway, Finland, and Sweden recorded the largest electricity demand per capita in Europe over the last few years. In 2023, Iceland’s per capita electricity demand averaged at almost 52 megawatt-hours per person, more than twice the consumption of runner-up Norway. Meanwhile, France, the largest electricity producer among the European Union countries, had an average per capita consumption of seven megawatt-hours in 2024. Why is electricity consumption so high in Iceland? The intense electricity consumption in Iceland stems from a combination of factors. On the one hand, due to its abundant natural resources, hydro and geothermal are the main sources of electricity generation in Iceland, allowing the country to produce power at high reliability and very low costs. Meanwhile, on the demand side, Iceland is home to some particularly energy-intensive industries – in 2023, it ranked among the largest aluminum smelter producers worldwide. To top it off, electricity demand is also high on the household sector side, due to the Nordic country’s long, dark, and cold winters. A similar combination of factors can also be found in Norway. How cheap is electricity in Iceland? In 2024, household electricity prices in Iceland averaged between 18 and 22.2 euro cents per kilowatt-hour, depending on the level of demand. In comparison to the average household electricity price in the European Union in the same period, it was around 40 percent cheaper. Iceland had one of the lowest residential electricity prices in Europe. On the other side of the spectrum, Germany, Denmark, and Belgium reported the highest prices in the region.

Disparities in national household income per capita across the EU and Euro area are calculated as the coefficient of variation of adjusted gross disposable income of households and Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISH) divided by the purchasing power parities (PPP) of the actual individual consumption of households and by the total resident population. The indicator reflects national differences in the purchasing power of households and their ability to invest in goods and services or save for the future, by accounting for taxes and social contributions and monetary in-kind social benefits. The time series offer a measure of the convergence of household income within the EU and Euro area.

This table presents a set of selected quarterly indicators highlighting people’s economic well-being. It includes the following indicators (or measures) for households and Non Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISH): real gross disposable income per capita, real final consumption expenditure per capita, the gross savings rate, net cash transfers to households and NPISH, debt and net financial worth. Some other indicators that are relevant for people and households are also provided: real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, consumer confidence, the unemployment rate and the labour underutilisation rate.

The table shows OECD countries, as well as the OECD total, G7, European Union and euro area. Data is presented on an indicator-by-indicator basis. Users are recommended to select one indicator at a time in the ‘Measure’ filter.

(i) National accounts data concern all data produced and disseminated for an economy according to the definitions and guidelines of the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). (ii) Annual national accounts (nama10) present annual data on GDP and its main aggregates (output, expenditure and income) as well population and employment data and derived indicators (e.g. GDP per capita, productivity, unit labour costs). Detailed breakdowns of main output, income and employment aggregates by industry, a cross-classification of assets by industry, breakdowns of household consumption by purpose and balance sheets of assets by sectors are also included in this dataset. Concerning the institutional sector breakdown, ESA 2010 distinguishes five mutually exclusive domestic institutional sectors: (a) non-financial corporations; (b) financial corporations; (c) general government; (d) households; (e) non-profit institutions serving households. The five sectors together make up the total domestic economy. (iii) EU 27 (iv) The general methodological framework for the compilation of national accounts in the EU is ESA 2010.
