Consumption data are used to study levels, trends and pattern of consumption of the population or sub- population of a country. It is widely used to measure poverty or to trace the changes undergone in the status of poverty. Data on final consumption expenditure are used for national accounting purpose and also, to assess the macroeconomic situation of an economy. Therefore, the survey, in spite of its small scale, captures details of household consumption expenditures on food, nonfood and other nonfood items such as imputed rent of owner occupied dwellings, expenditure on financial services, decorations and minor repairs and maintenance, repair and maintenance of durables, expenses on management of household disposals, expenditures related to administrative services, etc. Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose (COICOP) is followed in order to classify the household consumption expenditures. Household consumption expenditure includes consumption of goods and services made available through own production, purchase from market and received in kind for pay or as gifts, etc. It excludes capital expenditures such as those on fixed assets e.g. construction of housing units or on valuables. Expenditure on rentals is treated as final consumption.
