Végfogyasztás

Végfogyasztás refers to the final consumption of goods and services within an economy. It represents the point at which goods and services are used or consumed by households, government, or other entities for their own needs and wants, rather than for further production. This contrasts with intermediate consumption, where goods and services are used as inputs in the production of other goods and services.

The primary components of final consumption are household final consumption expenditure and government final consumption expenditure. Household final consumption expenditure includes spending by individuals and households on goods and services such as food, housing, clothing, transportation, and entertainment. Government final consumption expenditure encompasses spending by public administration on services like healthcare, education, defense, and public order.

Understanding végfogyasztás is crucial for economic analysis. It is a key driver of aggregate demand and a significant determinant of economic growth. Changes in végfogyasztás can indicate shifts in consumer confidence, income levels, and government policy. Economic indicators related to végfogyasztás, such as retail sales and consumer spending surveys, provide valuable insights into the health and direction of an economy. It is the ultimate purpose of economic activity, fulfilling the needs and desires of the end-users.
