The presentation is on a country-by-country basis. Users are recommended to select one country (or area) at a time in the ‘Reference area’ filter. Data is presented for each country in national currency as well as in euros for the European Union and the euro area. Data is presented in current prices (default view), but it is also possible to select chain linked volume and other price measures using the ‘Price base’ filter.
