Methodological note

Household expenditure refers to all the cash flow that household economies allocate to the acquisition of consumer goods, plus supply goods, self-consumption, any wages in kind and rent assigned to housing, even though the latter do not imply any cash flow.

Household consumption expenditure is classified according to the new classification of consumption expenditure, COICOP/HBS, structured into twelve broad groups:

  • Group 1: Food and non-alcoholic beverages
  • Group 2: Alcoholic beverages and tobacco
  • Group 3: Clothing and footwear
  • Group 4: Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels
  • Group 5: Furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance
  • Group 6: Health
  • Group 7: Transport
  • Group 8: Communication
  • Group 9: Recreation and culture
  • Group 10: Education
  • Group 11: Restaurants and hotels
  • Group 12: Miscellaneous goods and services

Expenditure is classified according to the Classification of the Functions of Individual Consumption (COICOP/HBS) until 2015. From 2016 onwards, the European Classification of the Functions of Individual Consumption (ECOICOP) is used. These two classifications are not entirely comparable.

The Statistics on Household Consumer Expenditures are conducted upon the basis of the Family Budget Survey carried out each year by the INE. Idescat processes this data in detail on a yearly basis, expanding the results for Catalonia.
