European purchasing power, March 2018

Great map created by GFK, showing the purchasing power in various regions of #Europe. Apart from the evident East-West and North-South discrepancies, other points of interest to note are:

  • East-West discrepancy in Germany (#DE) is still very much real;
  • So is the infamous gap between Italy’s (#IT) north and south;
  • Catalonia and rest of Spain (#ES) discrepancy;
  • Iceland’s (#IS) purchasing power, considering the 2008 systemic meltdown of the nation’s banking sector.
