IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation ProgrammeFollowing the ESA, Household consumption includes a wide range <strong>of</strong> goods <strong>and</strong>services received by households as income in kind. The main items are the use <strong>of</strong>company cars <strong>for</strong> private purposes <strong>and</strong> free or subsidized accommodation or meals.For the moment, no estimates are available on this issue.Consumption expenditure by <strong>Albania</strong>n resident households can take place either in<strong>Albania</strong> or the rest <strong>of</strong> the world. The consumption expenditure which takes place inthe rest <strong>of</strong> the world is regarded as an import <strong>of</strong> services to <strong>Albania</strong>.Correspondingly, consumption expenditure in e <strong>Albania</strong> by household residents inthe rest <strong>of</strong> the world is regarded as an <strong>Albania</strong>n export <strong>of</strong> services in the nationalaccounts. Thus, total final consumption expenditure in <strong>Albania</strong> by all households hasto have imports <strong>of</strong> added services <strong>and</strong> deducted exports in order to arrive at <strong>Albania</strong>nhousehold final consumption expenditure <strong>for</strong> the national accounts.In 2006 calculations no adjustments are made in order to shift from Domestic toNational concepts.5.8 NPISH Final Consumption ExpenditureAccording to the <strong>Albania</strong>n law, Non-pr<strong>of</strong>it Institutions are associations, foundations<strong>and</strong> centers, activity <strong>of</strong> which is developed independently.These units mostly per<strong>for</strong>m services to households <strong>and</strong> are not under governmentcontrol <strong>and</strong> financing.
