Euro area: Out-of-pocket expenditure per capita, PPP (current international $)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Euro area's out-of-pocket expenditure per capita, PPP (current international $) fell 26.92 on 2023 (from 962.32 to 935.4).

Across the 23 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2023), the average change was +27.13 and a typical year strayed about 20.94 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 87.5 in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 26.92 in 2024. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 32.89 a year. A straight line explains 94% of the movement over 10 observed years.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 1,069 for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 36.43, against 49.58 for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
