GDP per capita adjusted by purchasing power parity.
Its kinda crazy to see that because i only see italians complaining about their country
*purchasing power adjusted.
No surprise, in the last 5 years Italy has grown more than France, UK, Spain and Germany put together. This is mostly because while GDP is stagnant, the population is decreasing while other countries keep importing a lot of immigrants for GDP to not recede (Germany actually is receding in per capita terms).
The next step is surpassing our french cousins
Looking at this map, why does the phrase “Europoor” exit? It seems Europe is pretty wealthy.
It’s back to slightly below again.
It’s Spain’s turn!
No it hasn’t. It’s GDP per capita (PPP) has. They are different.
You’re kinda spamming these posts.
Yet the divide between the North & Mezzogiorno increases
Japan, S Korea and N Zealand also lower on this map.
Well that’s just not true, unless you use dubious PPP values. Using none PPP values:
UK GDP per capita in 2024 is 52.6k USD
Italy GDP per capita in 2024 is 40.2 USD.
This is the same logic of thinking China is a bigger economy than the USA, because according to PPP it is, but in reality we know that’s just simply not true.
No. It’s adjusted by PPP.
Just checking the IMF records for 2025 and the UK GDP per capita in the UK is higher than Italy. Where is this data from?
It’s PPP and not nominal GDP per capita though.
Is it a specific inclusion/exclusion of Greenland, French Guiana? If Greenland is coloured as part of Denmark, French Guiana should be coloured as part of France.
Why do i see so many young Italians moving to the UK if Italy is doing so well?
The ones on the way through don’t get registered
On a per capita basis, Italy has been doing very well post covid. Highest gdp growth in the G7 behind the US. Unfortunately the demographic decline appears irreversible, so overall the economy is stagnant
And as an Italian, I didn’t notice anything. There’s something wrong with all this. We haven’t improved; on the contrary, we’ve gotten worse. The only plausible explanation is that the UK has done worse than us.
This is crazy. Italy has long been a failing country, now they’re being outfailed by the UK..
In **Purchasing Power Terms** though, and it’s probably just temporary given that Italy seems to be slowing down again, even though the UK isn’t doing much better recently either
Greenland? Not a chance , they’re broke
Huh… no it isn’t, there a $14,950 gap… quite a fucking gap tbh.
Italy and New Zealand a little surprising. Rest not so much.
In purchasing power terms (and the two are basically the same). But Italy is still quite a bit lower in actual nominal terms.
With an extrem-right leader 🇮🇹
What’s your source for this?
Can someone explain me how is this possible? In Italy our salaries have been stagnant for 20 years, while inflation is consistently growing and prices are skyrocketing. Is it just because in the UK things are even worse?
And… GDP means bugger all to most, what they want is money in their wallets, not growth for some politician/economists to wet themselves over.
press X for doubt
Seems accurate the UK has been a stagnant mess for many years, except for maybe London. The real question is why GDP per capita has barely grown since the mid 2000’s, this isn’t just the UK, the whole of Europe has fallen way behind. We used to have comparable GDP to the US in Europe pre financial crisis.
Does gdp per capita matter much for people living in the country? I don’t know if median income or some sort of happiness index or more useful?
Italy had a larger economy than the UK until relatively recently. A series of 1 year governments that were more incompetent than most saw it slip down the scale a few places. So not all that surprising.
viva la brexit
That’s still PPP.
Don’t worry guys, any economic growth will go straight into the pensions.
– this is in PPP, and only by world bank. The IMF still has the UK ahead.
-the UK is $15,000 more per capita in nominal terms.
-Italy has been given 9% of its entire GDP over 5 years from the EU covid recovery fund.
