This report presents household income and expenditure data for the year 2001-02 (PIHS Round 4). It is the second report after merger of Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES) with Pakistan Integrated Household Survey (PIHS) in 1998-99. The format of the report is almost the same as of the HIES that were conducted during the 1990s (i.e. 1990-91, 1992-93, 1996-97 and 1998-99). However, in this report all the variables previously presented by income groups have now been presented by consumption quintiles in conformity with the social indicators presented in a separate report as well as to adjust the inflation effects during the successive years. In the following chapter (Chapter 2) the main findings of the report are summarised; in chapter 3, the concepts and definitions that are used in the report are explained and in chapter 4, the sample design is outlined. The methodology of consumption quintiles is explained in Appendix-A and data quality in Appendix-B. Thereafter, twenty-five major tables are presented.
The HIES has seen some major developments during the 1990s, and it is important that readers should aware of some of these. The Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES) has been conducted, with some breaks, since 1963.

The four surveys of 1990-91, 1992-93, 1993-94 and 1996-97 were conducted using the new/-revised questionnaire. In 1998, the HIES data collection methods and questionnaire were changed to reflect the integration of the HIES with the Pakistan Integrated Household Survey (PIHS). The same questionnaire with minor improvements and data collection methods have been used for the current survey, 2001-02 i.e. Income and Expenditure (Round- IV of PIHS
