Preliminary data from Eurostat show that the European Union’s average GDP per capita, measured in purchasing power standards (PPS), reached 41,600 euros in 2025. This indicator, which adjusts for differences in price levels between countries through a standardized unit, allows for more accurate comparisons of economic performance and living standards across the EU. The EU has recorded steady growth in this measure for five consecutive years, with GDP per capita rising from 30,400 euros in 2020
