The table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The table compares consuming styles regarding how much consumers spent on three different categories in five

countries

in 2002. It is evident that

food

,

drinks

, and

tobacco

accounted for the largest share of consumer expenditure in all five

countries

.

Conversely

, spending on leisure and education was the lowest in each country. Expenditures on clothing and footwear fell in the middle, typically higher than those on leisure and education but significantly lower than those on

food

,

drinks

, and

tobacco

. Notably, Turkey and Ireland had the highest proportions of spending on

food

,

drinks

, and

tobacco

, with 32.14% and 28.91%, respectively.
