GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
In case where the own produced food items are also included in code 01 we need to abstract from OWNP
=FOODEXP+CATSER+SCHRST

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Expenditure aggregates are based on the expenditure data already aggregated and provided (no detailed amounts for expenditure items are available).

Expenditure data was annualized based on the periods provided by CAPMAS for each data file indicating expenditure on one of the items.

Imputed expenditure amounts on own-produced products are not available, therefore all amounts provided were assumed to be purchased.

Items aggregated under each expenditure type are identified in the "Expenditure Aggregates" file.
