Output

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

Gross domestic product 16.9 bn € 1.3 bn €
GDP growth 3.5 % 0.5 % European Union 1.4 % +2.1 %
GDP per head (EU = 100) 42.8 0.6 European Union 100.0 −57.2 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 16.4 % 0.9 % European Union 21.6 % −5.2 % What the state consumes itself — schools, hospitals, administration. Not its transfers, its investment or its debt: total public spending is far higher.
