French household consumption expenditure fell during the month of November, due to the re-containment which began on October 30, a decline however less marked than during the first containment of spring, INSEE indicated on Friday.
These expenses tumbled 18,9% in November over one month, after an increase of 3,9% (revised figure) in October and they remained 17,1% below their level of November 2019, detailed the National Institute of Statistics.
In April, the previous full month of containment, household consumption fell by nearly 33%.
In November, the decline in household spending mainly concerned purchases of manufactured goods (-30,1%) and energy expenditure (-19,2%), due to the closure of so-called non-essential businesses and limitation of travel.
In particular, clothing and textile spending fell by more than half (-53%).
Food consumption also fell 5,8%. Just like that of tobacco, its price having increased on November 1, underlines INSEE.
