What the country produces in a year, where that demand comes from, and how the product is shared out.
Gross domestic product
34.2 bn €
GDP growth

GDP per head (EU = 100)
127.1
European Union 100.0
+27.1
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
26.0 %
European Union 21.6 %
+4.4 %
What the state consumes itself — schools, hospitals, administration. Not its transfers, its investment or its debt: total public spending is far higher.
