European Health Nominal Expenditure by Country

The United Kingdom leads European health nominal expenditure at 10.9% of GDP, followed by Belgium and Austria. The past year saw significant growth, particularly in the UK (6.38%), Latvia (8.81%), and Slovakia (3.82%). Conversely, Norway and Ireland experienced declines at -4.07% and -1.16% respectively. Trends indicate steady year-on-year increases for Germany, Croatia, and Spain around 3%. Countries like Denmark, Montenegro, and Luxembourg kept expenditure stable.

Future trends to watch include potential increases in health expenditure in countries currently experiencing rapid growth, like Latvia and Slovakia. Economic conditions impacting spending in traditionally higher-expenditure countries like Norway should also be monitored closely.
