Spain vs Thailand
Field by field, official sources only. Green wins the row, red loses it — grey rows lack a published value on one side.
Spain takes work & income — widest margin: inflation (2.70 % vs -0.13 %). Thailand takes cost of money, housing & living and macro — widest margin: real policy rate (1.13 % vs -0.20 %). 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.
