The country receipt

One country. Seven price stories.

Denmark · index, EU27 = 100

The € figure is a way to read the index: a representative set of goods and services priced at €100 at the EU-average level is indexed at €140 in Denmark. It is not a literal shopping list, and it does not adjust for local income.

What changes the picture

The national average is only the first receipt.

01

The overall range is wide

Household-consumption price levels run from 62.5 in Bulgaria to 139.7 in Denmark, with the EU fixed at 100.

02

Food is less dispersed

Food and non-alcoholic drink prices sit in a narrower band—from 79.8 in Romania to 122.4 in Luxembourg.

03

Categories can reverse the story

Ireland’s overall price level is 136.2, while clothing and footwear is 99.1. A high-cost country is not uniformly expensive.

Important boundary

A price index—not a cost-of-living verdict.

  • Indices compare national price levels after currency conversion at market exchange rates; they do not measure what residents can afford from local income.
  • The basket is representative and harmonised, not the exact purchases of one household, visitor or city.
  • Country averages can hide substantial regional, store-level and product-quality differences.
