      Surely this is in nominal value and not pr capita?

      Not super impressive to be honest, since they are almost double the people in Portugal compared to Finland.

      As a Portuguese, this doesn’t matter at all, it’s due to importing 1.5 million immigrants in the last 4 years (according to latest AIMA statistics) for cheap labour, which grows the economy artificially. For a country of 10 million, that ratio is very bad.

      We, the Portuguese, are still poor, can’t afford a house or groceries for the entire month. Our bi-party system (PS/PSD) is also full of defects.

      Finland does everything better.
      Go Finland! 🇫🇮

      This doesn’t say much…Romania is about to surpass Norway, Austria, Belgium and so on in total GDP, but bigger population = bigger economy. India has a bigger GDP than UK, France or Bangladesh than Denmark.

      Its per capita what matters. You can’t compare countries with 100 million population and countries with 5 million population. Portugal needs 2x the GDP of Finland, to be equal and in my case Romania needs also 2x the GDP of Austria or Belgium to be equal.

      And the reality is. This is likely because 20 super rich people got a golden passport and bought so much wealth it boosts the average.

      Whilst the average people have less than ever

      One thing: GDP only matters significantly if your country is among the top 20 economies in the world, as in that case it provides leverage to influence global economic dynamics. Otherwise, it’s more meaningful to focus on metrics like nominal and PPP values of GDP per capita, and GNI per capita. That said, I’m happy for the Portuguese people, they’ve achieved solid economic growth and respectable economic indicators. Aside from the housing crisis, Portugal is no longer a struggling country

      Why are we looking at numbers and not the real world lol?

      Take a look at how Finns live, their income, their state of country, their government, their salaries.

      And then do the same for Portuguese.

      Yes, Finns live at least 10 times better.

      So these numbers, you can take a giant poop on them.

      To all the pessimistic Portuguese out there, come on, try to see the good things about your country too. Yes, Portugal is still far behind Finland in terms of GDP per capita, but its economic growth has actually been stronger than Finland’s and that deserves recognition. Back in 2008, Portugal was the poorest Southern European country in per capita terms, but things have improved. It’s now ahead of Greece and, while still well behind Spain and even further behind Italy, it has recorded higher cumulative growth than both

      According to Eurostat, from 2007 to 2024, Portugal’s real GDP per capita grew by 12.73%. For comparison, Spain’s increased by 6.73%, Italy’s increased by 0.73%, while Greece’s declined by 10.90% and Finland’s declined by 2.58%

      10 Million guys win a fight against 5 Million guys! Wow amazing!

      Not that impressive since Finland has half the population of Portugal. Compare it to Sweden, and then we can celebrate.

      Just checked, Portugal has half the gdp of Sweden, so…

    18. Able-Marionberry7906 on

      That’s not really impressive if you take the number of their population.

    20. Ok_Solid_3668 on

      Portugal has 10.6 million people while Finland has 5.6 million people. A better comparison would be in terms of GDP per capita.

    21. Econ_Orc on

      Bangladesh has 4 times the area of Denmark and 29 times the population, but did not surpass total GDP until 2021. (400$ billion)

      Makes little sense to compare geographically, demographically and historically different nations.

      Congrats Portugal on increasing GDP and growing.
      Finland has struggled since 2008. Hope it finds the growth gear again.

      Becoming a Brazilian colony sure made it wonders. All hail the Brazilian Guiana!

      We’re not doing very good. Stagnant at best.

      But I’m glad for Portugal’s economic success, congrats!
