Household consumption

What households spend on goods and services, as a share of GDP.

Household final consumption is what households spend on goods and services, from food and rent to cars and holidays, as a share of GDP. It is the largest part of most economies: about two thirds of GDP in the United States, less than two fifths in China, where investment and exports weigh more. The World Bank computes it from national accounts.
