Output

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

Gross domestic product 88.7 bn € 5.4 bn €
GDP growth 2.0 % 1.9 % European Union 1.4 % +0.6 %
GDP per head (EU = 100) 51.8 0.5 European Union 100.0 −48.2 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 18.5 % 1.0 % European Union 21.6 % −3.1 % What the state consumes itself — schools, hospitals, administration. Not its transfers, its investment or its debt: total public spending is far higher.
