Norway vs Thailand
Field by field, official sources only. Green wins the row, red loses it — grey rows lack a published value on one side.
Norway takes cost of money and work & income — widest margin: currency (6.93 % vs -2.43 %). Thailand takes macro — widest margin: debt per person ($5,213 vs $51,081). In this type case — a single average earner comparing published official figures — the categories are not summed: a mortgage rate and a GDP figure do not weigh the same.
