2. I have taken my figures directly from BPS publication. There are small differences from the figures in Table 1 of Sundrum.
3. The Lebaran period is included in both the 1969 and 1976 surveys.
4. For example, durable consumption in the 1976 survey has no category for purchases of cars or motorcycles. Sales of new cars were 76,000; of new motorcycles 267,000. These two items alone approach $1 billion in retail sales. The richest (top 1.6 per cent of all households) spending group reported spending $2 per capita per year on “household equipment”. Television, refrigerator, and air conditioner sales added up to well over $100 million, but total spending for this top income group was under $5 million in this durable category.
