About this Dataset
Real GDP growth across 34 European economies in 2025 runs from 8.0% in Ireland to 0.2% in Germany, with a panel average of 2.1% and a median of 1.8%. The spread of 7.8 percentage points is wide by post-crisis standards.
Ireland's number should be set aside before drawing conclusions. Irish GDP measures the accounting decisions of a handful of foreign multinationals at least as much as it measures Irish economic activity.
The ordering below the top is a convergence story. Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Spain all grew faster than the panel average, while Germany, Italy and France rank 34th, 33rd and 28th of 34. Spain at 2.8% is the standout among the large western economies, running well ahead of the euro-area core on strong labour supply growth and tourism. Germany at 0.2% anchors the bottom. The panel average is a simple mean in which Germany counts no more than Malta; weighted by output, its weakness would likely pull a European aggregate lower.
Every row is the figure published for 2025; no value is carried over from an adjacent year to fill a gap. Albania has not published a 2025 figure and is left out rather than carried forward from an older year. The chart tracks a fixed panel of 33 countries: those reporting in every year from 2001. The line therefore moves because the countries moved, not because the sample changed. Growth rates are chain-linked volumes, so they strip out price changes and are comparable across countries.
