Abstract:	The Central Statistics Office conducted its eighth Household Budget Survey (HBS) from July 2006 to June 2007 in the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues. The previous surveys were conducted in 1961/62, 1975, 1980/81, 1986/87, 1991/92, 1996/97 and 2001/02. The main objective of the HBS is to collect data on the consumption expenditure of private households to determine the weights of goods and services for the computation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The survey also provides data on the distribution of household income and expenditure, and constitutes a reliable source of information for estimates of consumption expenditure of private households in the system of National Accounts, and for poverty analysis and other analytical and research work.
