# Romania → Germany economic convergence

Indicator: GDP per capita (PPP) (constant 2021 international $)
Latest shared data: 2025
Romania: $40,846

Romania is at 65% of Germany.

## Scenario

Romania annual growth: 3.4% (trailing 10-year average)
Germany annual growth: 0.5% (trailing 10-year average)

## Result

If Romania grew 3.4% a year and Germany 0.5% a year, Romania would catch up with Germany on GDP per capita (PPP) in about 14 years, around 2040. This is a scenario, not a forecast.
