About this ranking
Price level of recreation, sport and culture in actual individual consumption (what households consume, whether they pay for it or the government or non-profit institutions provide it) relative to the EU27 average, which is 100: the purchasing power parity divided by the market exchange rate (Eurostat). A value of 120 means the same goods and services cost 20% more than on average in the EU.
Compares price levels between countries in the same year; it is not an inflation rate, and changes from year to year also reflect exchange rates and the EU average. Computed by Eurostat and the OECD from purchasing power parities, with categories under COICOP 2018. Eurostat publishes this category from 2022.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
