The line graph illustrates the proportion of how money was spent on 5 different items between 1960 and 2000.
Overall, all categories registered a downward trend in the amount of money spent on items except transport, whose figure took the opposite direction. Among these categories, food remained the most common option during almost the entire period except 2000 when transport was first.
In 1960, by far the item that got the most money spent on was food, as it received around 34%. The second place belongs to leisure, with 20%, double the figure for clothing and quadruple for energy. Meanwhile, the percentage of expenditure on transport was about 8%.
Thereafter, the amount of money spent on food plummeted to just under 14% in 2000. Having similar patterns, the European country witnessed a significant drop in the percentage of spending on leisure, with its figure declining considerably to 12% in 2000. Likewise, there was a slight fall in clothing and energy, with the output reaching 5% and just over 2% in 2000.
