Over the same period, the profit share of non-financial corporations rose from 38.4% to 39.0%. These indicators describe different sectors and use different numerator and denominator concepts. One tracks the portion of household disposable income not allocated to consumption; the other measures the share of value added created by businesses that remunerates capital.

These growth rates are not changes in the saving rate; they measure the movement of two separate flows from the previous quarter. Eurostat defines the household saving rate as gross saving divided by gross disposable income, with the income measure adjusted for the change in households’ net equity in pension fund reserves. The rate rises when disposable income grows faster than final consumption expenditure and faces downward pressure when consumption grows faster. This definition means that 14.2% should not be read as the proportion of household cash held in bank accounts.","For businesses, the profit share of non-financial corporations increased from 38.4% to 39.0%. Eurostat defines this indicator as gross operating surplus divided by gross value added. In the second quarter, gross value added increased by 2.0% quarter on quarter, while compensation of employees, including wages and employers’ social contributions, plus taxes less subsidies on production increased by 1.0%. Eurostat attributes the higher profit share to the difference between those growth rates. The measure does not give a cash-profit amount on its own; it also should not be mistaken for total sales profitability or the margin of every individual company. Its scope is the non-financial corporations sector, and its denominator is value added generated in production.","The release also showed different directions for investment rates. The household investment rate edged down from 8.4% to 8.3%, while the investment rate of non-financial corporations increased from 22.5% to 22.7%. Eurostat says household investment mainly consists of purchasing and renovating dwellings. Its rate is gross fixed capital formation divided by gross disposable income adjusted for changes in households’ net equity in pension fund reserves. For non-financial corporations, the rate is gross fixed capital formation divided by gross value added. In the quarter, household gross fixed capital formation rose by 0.5% and the corporate measure by 2.9%. Those quarter-on-quarter changes are not the investment rates themselves, and the two rates have different denominators.","The first-release comparisons should be read alongside Eurostat’s revision note. Compared with data published on 27 July, the first-quarter 2026 household saving rate was revised from 14.3% to 14.4%, and the household investment rate from 8.5% to 8.4%. The first-quarter profit share of non-financial corporations was revised from 38.6% to 38.4%, while its investment rate was revised from 22.2% to 22.5%. Eurostat says it publishes a first news release and a subset of indicators around 94 days after a quarter ends, followed by detailed final accounts around 120 days after quarter-end. The figures are therefore a first release and may change in the later detailed publication. The series is compiled from the first quarter of 1999 under ESA 2010 and covers the 21 euro-area countries.
