EU prices double than in Bulgaria

Bulgaria offers the lowest prices of products and services within the European Union, while Denmark ranked at the other end of the table, according to 2008 figures by Eurostat, the EU’s statistical office. The average price levels in Bulgaria accounted for 51% of the community’s average. The Danish dug deepest in their wallets, paying prices 41% above the average. The statistics are based on end-consumer prices and exclude home purchase costs as well as products and services subsidised by the state or by non-government organisations. Prices in Bulgaria come closest to the EU average in clothing -- at 85% -- and consumer electronics at 96%. The levels in Bulgaria were also lower than in its non-EU neghbours, with only Macedonians paying less at 47% of the community average. Eurostat found that clothing and electronics were cheapest in the UK, where they cost less than in Bulgaria.
