In 2021, the average volume of household net savings in the 27 member countries of the European Union represented over a tenth of their disposable income. While during the last decade, the savings rate has fluctuated around five percent, those figures have increased after the outbreak of COVID-19. Thus, household savings grew from 5.9 percent in 2019 to 12.2 in the following year.

Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information: "Net household saving is defined as household net disposable income plus the adjustment for the change in pension entitlements less household final consumption expenditure (households also include non-profit institutions serving households). The adjustment item concerns (mandatory) saving of households, by building up funds in employment-related pension schemes. Household saving is the main domestic source of funds to finance capital investments, a major impetus for long-term economic growth. The net household saving rate represents the total amount of net saving as a percentage of net household disposable income. It thus shows how much households are saving out of current income and also how much income they have added to their net wealth. All OECD countries compile their data according to the 2008 System of National Accounts (SNA)."
