Transportation amounts to 10% of total expenditure; food and non-alcoholic beverages account for 13%, restaurants and hotels account for 7%, and recreation and culture account for 7%. In addition, miscellaneous goods and services (6%), household goods and services (4%), and clothing and footwear (3%) are included in the index.
