Household Expenditure Survey 2025/26
The Household Expenditure Survey is a year-long survey in which households are asked to keep a detailed record of all their expenditure for one full month in every quarter. The survey is normally carried out every 5 to 7 years. The main aim of the survey is to get an accurate picture of spending patterns in the Falklands. This information will be used to renew the Retail Price Index (RPI) basket of goods, and to renew the weighting of categories accordingly.
A new survey will launch in October 2025, and we are looking for households to participate. A full guidance document can be found here:
