H.E. Dr. Saleh bin Muhammad Al-Nabit, President of the Planning and Statistics Authority (PSA), will preside over the press conference that PSA will hold in its premise tomorrow, Wednesday, to announce the launch of the field phase of the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES).
At the press conference, PSA will announce the details of the data collection process in the aforementioned survey, which will continue for a full year, starting from February 2023.
HIES is considered one of the large and most important surveys that provides a series of significant socio-economic data on living conditions and standards in the State of Qatar.
This survey provides important and accurate statistical data on the consumption patterns of Qatari and non-Qatari households and the percentage distribution of spending on goods and services to be used in calculating cost-of-living indices.
It is noteworthy that this 7th state-level national survey is one of the household surveys incorporated in PSA’s plan, and is being carried out periodically every five years, where it was last implemented during 2017-2018.
