In October 2018, household expenditure on goods bounced back by 0.8% in volume, after a sharp decline in September (−2.0%). This rebound was notably driven by the increase in food consumption (+0.9%) and manufactured goods (+0.8%).

In October, food consumption rose (+0.9%), after two consecutive months of decline (−0.9% in September and −0.5% in August). This rise came from the increase in the consumption of agricultural products (after four months of decline) as well as from the dynamism of meat and meat products consumption. Tobacco consumption increased slightly after two months of downturn.
