In 2014, Indonesian household monthly expenditure was predominantly allocated to non-food items, specifically housing, household facilities, and goods and services. This contrasts with the pre-2007 period, where a larger portion of household spending was directed towards food.
According to the National Economic Survey published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) in 2015, the largest monthly expenditure was on housing and facilities, accounting for 19 percent. This was followed by goods and services, also at 19 percent, and lastly, prepared food at approximately 12 percent.
Tobacco and betel consumption also registered as one of the largest expenditures in 2014, reaching 6 percent, surpassing other spending categories that averaged only 1-3 percent.
