Explore which European countries led GDP growth in 2025 and which lagged behind. A quick look at Europe’s economic winners and losers.
In 2025, Europe's total GDP growth, while slow, increased slightly, reaching approximately 1.5%.
However, growth was not uniform across all countries; economic development varied from country to country.
Some countries in Eastern Europe have made the fastest progress.
Some large countries, such as Spain, have also demonstrated relatively strong growth.
The pace of major economies such as Germany, France, and Italy was slow.
In some countries, such as Ireland, GDP does not fully reflect the true economic picture due to the presence of multinational companies.
Overall, while Europe's growth is moderate, there are significant disparities among the individual countries.
