This fourth edition of Key figures on Europe follows on from the success of previous years’ publication. It aims to provide intuitive visualisations, innovative data presentations and more concise text, so users can rapidly obtain an understanding of differences between Member States. It is available in English, French and German.

This publication provides you with a selection of interesting key statistics on the European Union (EU), its Member States as well as the countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). Drawing from the rich collection of data available at Eurostat, we aim to provide insight into the current situation and recent developments across the EU with regard to people and society, the economy and business, and the environment and natural resources. It is the first edition showing data on the impact of the COVID-19 crisis during 2020.

PDF p.37 Household budget structure (% share of total household consumption expenditure, EU, 2019 and 2020)
The COVID-19 crisis impacted not only on overall economic activity, but also on household consumption patterns. The share of expenditure on several categories related to eating and living at home increased between 2019 and 2020. For example, there were increases of 2.0 percentage points for food and non-alcoholic beverages, 1.5 points for housing, water and energy, 0.6 points for household equipment and maintenance, and 0.5 points for alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics.
