I’m guessing that northern and Central Europe are the only places with a good economy.
Why is Southern Europe is such bad shape I thought they were wealthy areas
Is there a comparison to North America
Iron curtain still exists in some ways. Impact of 40 years of communists economical experiments will be there many more years.
France looking kinda shitty on this map.
Would be nice to see Russian purchasing power…
Ah yes, Poortugal and Pain
How is it calculated?
Why is Italy so divided?
That border between Austria and Slovakia looks wildly contrasted ; damn that Iron Curtain
Dividing Lithuania into 60 municipalities is way too much to show data on this sort of map, even after zooming in I can’t really tell if our tiny city municipalities (where majority of people actually live) are yellow or green. This is why eurostat use EU NUTS 2 regions for similar maps.
Why aren’t they using NUTS?
Gotta love it when a maps legend has “no value available” for the color coding
Pain
Norwegians always flexing on us smh s
Blue always means better right?🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💪💪💪💪💪💪
The colors are fucked up, red is an universal code for bad.
What’s going on in France? I thought it was more prosperous
What communism does to a mf
It’s interesting to me that despite the clearly visible divide where the iron curtain used to be, east Germany doesn’t look as bad as expected. Within Germany we often focus on the still existing magnitude of the east west divide, but don’t acknowledge the progress we already made. Seeing it compared to the rest of the former eastern block it seems we actually did a good job in pulling the region up.
Oh, rusia isn’t europe, cool.
That’s a very good map.
It is quite fascinating that East germany is better of than large parts of France.
AH AH AH AH AH, NOW WHO CALLS US FROM THE CENTER EH ? EMILIA ROMAGNA POWER
Nice to see that England’s north-south divide is showing its ugly face here
France looks so weird
why do crimea marked the same color as main europe’s/asia’s bandit?
Portugal and Greece are surprisingly poor.
Even though they are long term member of EU.
You can clearly see the effects of communism and muslim invasion. Who got both of them have been and still are really unfortunate.
> GfK Purchasing Power is based on the population’s nominal disposable income,
…
>Consumers draw from their general purchasing power to cover expenses related to eating, living, services, energy, private pensions and insurance plans as well as other expenditures, such as vacation, mobility and consumer purchases
So this does not take into account the enormously higher cost of living in the greater london area and actually is *not* ‘purchasing power’, since shopping in some countries is also more expensive than in others thus if you have the same *nominal* income you can buy fewer groceries in Switzerland than in Germany.
This map is useless, no scale no source
Switzerland: “I don’t have purchasing power, I am the purchasing power.”
I remember reading once that a working-age male in Zürich has the highest purchasing power in the world. No idea if that’s still the case.
What is purchasing power?
You mean who controls the central banks and the credit?
Is that what purchasing power is?
Or does it mean who has more natural resources? Who has more sovereignty and freedom?

Depends on what you mean by purchasing power
