Note: Data refers to euro area member countries that are also members of the OECD (17 countries). The year is indicated in parenthesis if it deviates from the year in the main title of this table (2022). Where the OECD aggregate is not provided in the source database, a simple OECD average of latest available data is calculated where data exist for at least 80% of member countries.
