In international comparisons of national accounts data such as GDP per capita, it is desirable not only to express data in a common currency but also to take into account differences in price levels. Otherwise, GDP levels will be overestimated in high-price countries compared to low-price countries.
Luxembourg has by far the highest GDP per capita of all 27 countries included in this comparison, up 139%. higher than the EU average. This is partly due to the fact that the country employs a large number of foreigners who contribute to its GDP, even though they do not constitute part of Luxembourg's population. Their consumption expenditure is recorded in the national accounts of the country of residence, explains Eurostat.
Ireland ranks second among EU countries, with a rate of 137%. higher than the EU average. Ireland's high level of GDP per capita can be partly explained by the presence of large multinational companies that own intellectual property. The associated contract manufacturing involving these assets contributes to GDP growth, and a significant portion of the revenues from this production are returned to the ultimate owners of the companies abroad.
