INTRODUCTION
Household Expenditure Survey
The Household Expenditure Survey (HES) was first conducted in the year 1957/58. Beginning 1993/94 it was carried out at an interval of five years and subsequently in 1998/99. The recent survey was undertaken in 2009/2010. The survey covers private households in urban and rural areas.
The main objective of HES is to collect information on the level and pattern of consumption expenditure by households on a comprehensive range of goods and services. This information serves as the basis for determining the goods and services to be included in the basket of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). It is also used to update the CPI weights where the CPI is a measure of the average rate of change in prices of a fixed basket of goods and services which represents the expenditure pattern of households in Malaysia.
However, over the years, demand for data from the survey has increased and it is now used for several purposes. HES has become an invaluable source of information for government and private sectors, researchers and university students.
