GDP growth rate

Azerbaijan is among the fastest growing economies in Europe, in part due to the country's growing energy sector.

The economy of Cyprus continues to struggle as a result of the ongoing eurozone crisis and the resulting Cypriot financial crisis.

GDP (nominal) per capita of sovereign states in Europe

Data provided is by the World Bank (2021). Data for Monaco and Liechtenstein is from 2020 and 2019 respectively.<ref>World Bank, 2021</ref>

Monaco is home to one of the world's wealthiest populations, and has the highest level of GDP per capita in Europe.

Like Monaco, the small size of Liechtenstein has led to it being among the highest ranked European states for GDP per capita.

Luxembourg is home to an established financial sector as well as one of Europe's richest populations.

Despite having the highest GDP growth rate in Europe, Moldova is among its poorest states, and also has Europe's smallest GDP per capita.
