The price level index measures how expensive a country is relative to the EU-27 average (=100). I converted it to "what €100 actually buys" for each country. Denmark at 141 means your €100 has the purchasing power of just €71. Bulgaria at 61 means your €100 stretches to €164.
The gap inside a single market is striking — over 2.3× between the cheapest and most expensive EU members. Convergence has been slow despite decades of cohesion policy. #education source
