Explanatory Notes on Main Statistical Indicators

 

Household Final Consumption Expenditure (Private Consumption)  is the market value of all goods and services, including durable products (such as cars, washing machines, and home computers), purchased by households.

GINI Index  measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. Thus a GINI index of zero represents perfect equality, while an index of 1 implies perfect inequality.
