Citizens of Albania and Kosovo have the lowest annual per capita expenditure on clothing and shoes, according to Eurostat data, an indirect indicator of their poverty.

The less disposable income, the lower consumer spending on non-essential goods, encouraging the purchase of cheap products.

According to Eurostat data, the nominal expenditure per capita of Albanian citizens in 2021 was 147 euros, much lower than the European Union average of 681 euros.

For Kosovo, the data is from 2020, with 130 euros per capita.

All the countries of the region, which are also the poorest in Europe, spend less on clothing, where the highest is recorded in Montenegro, with 348 euros per capita per year.

In total, spending on clothing and shoes in Albania for 2021, according to Eurostat, was 413 million euros.

The European record for clothing is held by the Norwegians, Austrians, and Danes, with over 1,000 euros per capita per year, also influenced by the high prices of clothing in these countries, but the Italians are not far behind (943 euros), which, although not are so rich that the Nordic countries spend a lot on clothing, as if to "justify" the perception that they are the center of fashion./monitor
