GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
Alcoholic and tobacco expenditures are included here
=TOTEXP-(FOODEXP+TDUR+THOUS)

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Items aggregated under each expenditure type are identified in "Expenditure Aggregates.pdf".

Only one consumption type (code 2) is provided for food/non-food products in 2008, hence no identification for own produced or in kind expenses is possible, and all expenses were assumed to be for purchased items

Expenses items for which codes are not defined were allocated under expenditure aggregates as per their codes

Since the period over which expenditure data is collected is not identified in the data file, a check on total expenses on food and non food and per capita was done and found that amounts provided, compared to figures published, are already annualized. A further check was performed by comparing the monthly rent value provided in the household data file with that provided in the non-food expenditure data file, and from which we could conclude that amounts provided are annual.
