Among European Union countries, Germany devotes the most with 10.9% followed by France (10.5%) and Belgium (10.1%). The United Kingdom allocates 8.3%, the same as Hungary, and narrowly ahead of Spain (8.1%) and Japan (8%). The only OECD country to buck the rising trend is Finland, where the share of GDP devoted to health fell from 7.9% to 7.5%.
