Output

What the country produces in a year, where that demand comes from, and how the product is shared out.

Gross domestic product 27.1 bn € 2.1 bn €
GDP growth 4.0 % 0.0 % European Union 1.3 % +2.7 %
GDP per head (EU = 100) 33.3 2.4 European Union 100.0 −66.7 Adjusted for price differences between countries: one hundred means “the EU average”. Without that adjustment, comparing a Bulgarian wage with a Danish one means nothing.
Government consumption, % of GDP 12.9 % 0.6 % European Union 21.6 % −8.7 % What the state consumes itself — schools, hospitals, administration. Not its transfers, its investment or its debt: total public spending is far higher.
