According to Eurostat data, in 2024 Bulgaria and Estonia ranked second to last in the EU in terms of actual individual consumption (AIC) per capita. This important indicator of household material well-being is lowest in Hungary, at 72% of the EU average. In Bulgaria and Estonia, the indicator stood at 74%, whereas in Luxembourg it reached 141% of the EU average.
