To arrive at the results of household final consumption expenditure, INE "relied on the flow of goods method" which is established in three categories, namely products of national origin, imported products and other products "for each of these categories".
However, the report does not go into what types of goods households have spent their money on.
It should be noted that the institute applied a new method to measure GDP, starting to calculate the results from the expenditure perspective instead of the production perspective.
