The World Bank noted that recently, the Consumption Awards Index (IQK) in the Balkan region does not necessarily reflect the inflation experienced by the poorest families, as their production of expenditures differs from that of average families and this is the most obvious in Albania.
Povertyier decill families systematically experience inflation higher than the average and richer families. In the case of Albania and North Macedonia, the ICK reflects more closely the composition of consumption of households richer than average households.
The highest inflation facing the poor partly reflects the higher weight of food expenses. For an average family in the Western Balkans, food is the largest category of expenditures, which range between 28 percent of total expenditures in Serbia, 44 percent in Albania and 52% in Kosovo.
The weight of food in monthly expenses is higher among the poorest families, which cost up to 78 percent of their total consumption expenses for food.
According to the official ICK, in the entire region, food prices rose faster than in 2021, the total basket of goods tracked by inflation, except for northern Macedonia. /Monitor. al
