Finland, traditionally high, showed minimal growth at 0.38%. Notably, Nordic countries like Iceland and Norway have high expenditures, attributed to taxes and cost of living. Croatia and Bulgaria show rapid increases, possibly from lifestyle shifts. Southern European nations like Italy and Greece have low expenditures, consistent with cultural consumption patterns.
