COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Amounts of expenditure are provided in an aggregated form in Millime.
All "per capita" amounts were multiplied by the number of household members to compute amounts per household.
Amounts were divided by 1000 to convert it to dinar.
Some detailed household expenditures provided by item, source and in some cases occasion of expenditure were summated and compared to the aggregated amounts and found acceptably similar, hence the aggregates originally provided from the statistical office were used in the harmonized data file.
Aggregates under each expenditure type are identified in the "Expenditure Aggregates" file.
