Household expenditure statistics (HES) 2022

I have found the HES for 2019, but could not find the most recent data set - presumably 2021 or 2022. Can you please forward the latest data set to me. It should be in xl or xls format.

I am looking to consider movement in typical expense values in order to gauge cost of living impacts when assessing consumer credit applications - for debt servicing purposes.

Providing us with impacts arising from living cost increases across different household demographics, in order to help determine the debt servicing buffer that we may need to adopt.

Data not available for release

The HES 2022 release has been delayed. The HES 2022 survey stopped interviewing due to COVID19 – and was delayed a year and is now being collected for 2022/2023. The next release date for the HES expenditure data is now expected to be February 2024.

    The expenditure data interval between the year ended June 2019 and the year ended June 2023 is a four-year gap, rather than the typical three-year gap of this series. The difference is due to the postponement of data collection for the year ended June 2022 Household Economic Survey in response to COVID-19 restrictions. The 2023 HES data is now available here:
