Understanding Household Consumption to GDP — a simple guide
What it measures
Household final consumption expenditure as a share of GDP.
How it is calculated

A ratio of 60% means households account for 60% of total demand.
Consumption-led economies depend on household income and confidence.
A low share usually means investment or exports drive the economy.
Why it matters for the economy and markets
Consumption is the largest component of demand in most economies.
How to read it
Economies with high consumption shares are more sensitive to household income, credit and confidence.
