How to read Engel Ratio

Engel Ratio measures the share of household consumption spent on food. Higher readings usually imply a heavier burden from necessities and less room for discretionary spending.

Cross-country levels reflect income differences and price structures, so trend direction often matters more than the level alone.

It becomes more informative when paired with food inflation, real wages and total household consumption.
