HOUSEHOLD SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY

The HSES is a nationally representative survey that aims to estimate and monitor the level of poverty of the country and people's living standards. It aims to update consumption weights for the Consumer Price Index baskets and estimate private consumption expenditure for the national accounts (GDP). Before HSES, Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) was a main survey and then since 2007, instead of HIES, HSES has been implemented in the current form.
