The Household Budget Survey (HBS) allows us to ascertain the consumption expenditure of households residing in Spain, as well as the distribution of said expenditure among the different consumption divisions.
The HBS, published annually and including nearly 24,000 dwellings in its sample, provides information that is essential for estimating for the National Accounts the household expenditure on consumption, and for updating the Consumer Price Index (CPI) weightings.
The consumption expenditure that is recorded in the HBS refers both to the monetary flow that the houshold pays for certain final consumption goods and services, and to the value of certain non-monetary household consumption. Among the latter, it is appropriate to indicate the rent of owned dwellings (that is, the estimated rent of the dwelling owned by or granted to the household and in which the household resides), the salary in kind, the free or subsidised food or restaurant checks at the workplace, or the consumption originating from the production for their own final consumption (garden, farm, factory, workshop, or those taken from one's own shop).
