Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable36 → 45 EU percentile since 1995 (+9 ranks)
Yearly EU-wide percentile of real GDP per head (ARDECO regional accounts, constant 2020 prices, derived over population). 50 = the EU median that year; percentiles are scale-free, so decades are directly comparable. See the backtest for what long-run prosperity ranks do — and don't — anticipate.
