KSH: household consumption increased after eight years for the first time last year

Last year, the per capita monthly consumption expenditure of the households increased by 2.7 percent to 68,609 HUF in real terms, in an annual comparison, after almost eight years of decline and stagnation – the Statistical Review publication of the Central Statistical Office (KSH) reveals.

The Central Statistical Office (KSH) highlihts: There were great differences between the different types of households. In one-person households a monthly average of 108,702 HUF was spent on overhead, food, transportation, entertainment, while at the four-person households, the same amount was 56 165 HUF per capita. The reason of the difference is that a significant portion of the products and services are consumed together by the members of the household and the consumption structure is also different. (MTI)
