Forecast for Europe/Here are which countries will be the richest by 2030

Gross domestic product per capita is one of the most widely used tools for comparing economies, and in most of Europe, the trajectory is increasing.

But a rising figure doesn't always mean a country is moving ahead of its peers: rankings change as all economies move together. Where a country stands on the chart often tells a more useful story than the raw number.

So which European countries are expected to lead in GDP per capita by 2030, and are there any significant changes on the way?

According to the IMF's World Economic Outlook projections for 2025 and 2030, covering both nominal GDP per capita and purchasing power parity, which adjusts for price changes between countries.

Among 41 European countries, including EU members, candidate countries, EFTA members and the United Kingdom, Ireland is projected to top the PPP GDP per capita table by 2030, replacing Luxembourg, which topped in 2025.

Norway, Switzerland and Denmark are projected to complete the top five, their positions stable between 2025 and 2030.

Among Europe's five largest economies, Germany ranks highest at 12th, followed by France (15th) and the United Kingdom (16th). Italy ranks 18th, with Spain the lowest of the five at 22nd.

The bottom nine positions are dominated by EU candidate countries, with Ukraine, Kosovo and Moldova. Turkey is the most isolated among them, projected to rank 29th in 2030, above three full EU members: Bulgaria, Latvia and Greece.
