Fiji Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2002-2003

A national Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) is a critical component of the work of the Fiji Islands Bureau of Statistics. It provides the data which is necessary for the periodic revision of weights for the Bureau's Consumer Prices Index and other indices, assists in the compilation of national accounts, the formulation of fiscal and social policies of government, and helps government and the private sector in their planning processes. A HIES, by providing income, expenditure and other data at the household level, is especially useful in the analysis of the national incidence of poverty.
