    Romanian Household Budget Survey (HBS) is a multi-purpose nationally representative survey implemented by the National Institute of Statistics.

The HBS is a continuous, quarterly survey.The survey collects information on household composition, income, expenditure, consumption and other aspects of population living standards.

    The collected information also allows:

    • To identify the households and persons with problems with a view to elaborate adequate programs for social protection;
    • To analyze the impact of the application of different programs in social area, of the economic effects of the transition period and generally the entire socio-economic situation of the population;
    • To evaluate the overall consumption of the population;
    • To measure the poverty and the social exclusion.

    The aim of the survey is to provide high quality information in order to explore the possibilities and the ways to improve the living standards in Romania.
