Household Savings

Definition

The portion of the disposable income (or adjusted disposable income) of households that is not used for final consumption expenditure (or effective final consumption) constitutes their savings. The difference between available income and adjusted available income, which corresponds to social transfers in kind, is the same as that between final consumption expenditure and effective final consumption. There is therefore only one notion of savings.
