Slight increase in the consumption of goods

The seasonally adjusted volume index of commodity consumption increased by 0.2 per cent from January to February.

The unadjusted volume index of commodity consumption was 3.6 per cent higher in February this year than in February last year. Note that the volume indices for January 2002 have been revised since the last release.

The calculation of the index of commodity consumption is based on information from the Index of retail sales. In addition, the index of commodity consumption uses information about purchases of cars and motorcycles, sales of petrol and oil (to petrol stations) and household consumption of electricity.

The index of commodity consumption uses the same definitions and methods of compilation as the Quarterly National Accounts. The index of commodity consumption is thus an indicator of household consumption of goods in the Quarterly National Accounts.
