# **Annex 1: Survey Descriptions and Expenditure Findings**

The survey descriptions and annual household expenditures for capita are shown in Table A.1. Expenditures in U.S. dollars are computed by converting the expenditures in the local currency to U.S. dollars using the official exchange rate averaged over the survey months first, and then adjusted to 2022 U.S. dollars using the U.S. GDP deflator applicable midway through the survey period. The dollar conversion of annual per capita expenditures should be treated with caution because not all countries had deregulated foreign exchange. For example, Sudan had multiple exchange rates at the time of the survey, which in turn were much more over-valued than the parallel market rate (IMF 2014, 2016).
