The bar chart compares the amount of money spent on six different consumer goods in four European countries: Britain, France, Italy, and Germany. The figures are given in thousand pounds sterling.
Overall, Britain spent the most on all categories of consumer goods, while Germany spent the least on almost all items. Among the six products, photographic film and toys received the highest spending across the countries.
In detail, British people spent the highest amount on photographic film, around 170 thousand pounds, followed by toys and personal stereos, both just below this figure. France and Italy showed similar spending patterns, with both countries spending roughly between 145 and 160 thousand pounds on most items. However, Italy recorded slightly higher spending on toys and CDs than France.
Germany, on the other hand, spent the least in nearly all categories. Its expenditure on photographic film and CDs was around 145 thousand pounds, which was much lower compared to Britain. Perfumes and tennis racquets also had the lowest spending in Germany, both approximately 140 thousand pounds.
