Thailand vs Portugal
Field by field, official sources only. Green wins the row, red loses it — grey rows lack a published value on one side.
Thailand takes cost of money, housing & living and macro — widest margin: unemployment (0.78 % vs 6.16 %). Portugal takes work & income — widest margin: inflation (2.34 % vs -0.13 %). 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.
