SINGAPORE: The Department of Statistics (DOS) is conducting the 10th Household Expenditure Survey (HES) from October 2012 to September 2013.

The survey covers 11,000 households.

Survey officers carrying identification cards and letters of authorisation issued by DOS will visit selected households.

Those who wish to verify the identity of the officers may call the HES hotline at 1800—888—1213 from 8.30am to 10.00pm, Monday to Sunday, including public holidays.

The survey is conducted once every five years.

It collects up—to—date information on households’ expenditure for updating the weighting pattern and the basket of goods and services used in the compilation of the Consumer Price Index.
