Average per capita expenditure is the cost incurred for the consumption of all household members for a month, whether from purchases, gifts, or self-production, divided by the number of household members. Household consumption is categorized into food and non-food consumption, regardless of the origin of the goods, and is limited to household needs only, excluding consumption/expenditure for business purposes or given to others.
Food consumption expenditure is calculated weekly, while non-food consumption is calculated monthly and for the past 12 months. Both food and non-food consumption are then converted into average monthly expenditure. The average per capita consumption/expenditure figures presented in BPS publications are obtained by dividing the total consumption of all households (both consuming food and non-food) by the total population.
According to BPS (Central Bureau of Statistics), this increase in expenditure was driven by the monthly (month-to-month) inflation rate in this region, which reached 8.58%. Meanwhile, economic growth in 2023 was recorded at 8.58%.
