KSH hanged the consumer basket

The crisis has changed the consumer habits, so the Central Statistical Office (KSH) also changed the consumer basket: the ratio of consumer durables decreased.

The Central Statistical Office (KSH) each year reviews the consumer basket, which is the base of the inflation calculations. It turned out, that over the last period the population purchased less consumer durables, for example far fewer cars were sold. As a result, in the calculation of inflation, consumer durables will be calculated by 6.851 percent instead of the 8.490 percent of 2009 – reports Népszabadság Online.
