Euro-zone Household Consumption reports the mean expenditure on individual consumption goods and services per household per year. The figure is reported in the annualized percent change. Increases in Household Consumption are suggestive of increases in economic growth and of higher levels of consumer optimism, both positive indicators for the economy. However, unrestrained growth can result in inflationary pressures. Thus this report can be used as a leading indicator for inflationary pressures.
