GDP growth is one of the most closely monitored measures used by nations and organizations to gauge economic growth. Compared with 2024, real household income per capita increased in 14 of the 16 European countries last year, while just two saw decreases.
At 4.1%, Poland had the highest real growth. Additionally, the nation saw the greatest growth in 2024 and 2025, indicating a strong increase in real household income during those two years. The OECD pointed out that “increases in remuneration of employees offset decreased social benefits, resulting in an acceleration of real household income per capita growth” for Poland.
Portugal (2%) and the Netherlands (2.3%) also reported increases of at least 2%. Rises of 1.5% to 2% were reported in Denmark (1.9%), Greece (1.8%), and Spain (1.5%). The OECD saw gains in Greece’s net property income and employee compensation, with the country’s unemployment rate hitting its lowest point since 2009. Real household income per capita increased by more than 1% in Belgium (1.4%), Hungary (1.2%), and Sweden (1.2%).
