The EU’s three Nordic Member States – Denmark, Finland and Sweden – are examples of modern welfare states that have managed to balance high tax rates with competitive economies and strong fiscal discipline. All three have higher GDP per capita levels than the EU and the euro area’s average, and have achieved higher growth and employment rates than many other Member States over the past decade. |
