Household Expenditure Survey 1994-95
The 1994-95 Household Expenditure Survey which will last one complete year till September to collect up-to-date information on household expenditure patterns for rebasing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has been half completed since its commencement in October last year.
"In addition to collecting data continuously on the price movements of goods and services, there is a need to establish the household expenditure patterns as basic information for the compilation of the CPI," a spokesman from the Census & Statistics Department said today.
"In the past six months, some 2,700 households have participated in the survey. So far, public response to the survey has been very encouraging. Households invited to take part in the first six months of the survey were generally very co-operative in providing the required information," the spokesman said.
The survey is jointly conducted by the Census and Statistics Department and the Hang Seng Bank. Households participating in the survey will be requested to keep record of all expenses for a specified period of 14 days. Interviewers performing work in this survey will provide assistance to participating households as needed.
