▶About these figures
The yearly figures are the World Bank's own totals and averages for the euro area, not sums made on this site. Publishers release on different schedules, so the years differ from row to row.
The series come from Eurostat, the European Central Bank, the OECD and other publishers. Each row keeps its own period, unit and source, and opens its history. Where a publisher lists the euro area under more than one code, the row shows the code with the newest reading.
