18 May 2016 Evaluate

After good monsoon predictions, there is something more that can cheer the government, the global performance management company - Nielsen- in its latest study has stated that Indian consumers were the most confident in the world in terms of job prospects, personal finances and concerns in the first quarter of 2016, with their confidence index touching a nine-year high during the period.

India’s Consumer Confidence Index score increased three index points in the first quarter to a score of 134, the highest for the country since 2007. According to the study, India and Indonesia are bright spots among Asian growth markets with confidence up three and two points respectively from the previous quarter. The report further added that all three confidence indicators increased from the previous quarter in both countries with job sentiment, personal finances and immediate spending intentions at consistently high levels.

Regarding the global consumer confidence, the study found it remaining stable in the first quarter and below the optimism baseline score of 100, edging up one index point to 98. While 11 countries out of 61 saw their confidence increase five or more points relative to a year ago, 21 saw confidence fall five or more points compared to the first quarter of 2015. In the world’s largest economy, the US consumer confidence score of 110 remained at or above the optimism baseline for nine consecutive quarters.

Meanwhile, among key European markets, confidence declined four points in the U.K. (97) and one point in Germany (97) from the previous quarter, as the outlook for jobs in the next 12 months worsened in both countries. In China, consumer confidence edged down two points to 105, as the share expressing a positive outlook for jobs in the next year declined five percentage points to 60%-the lowest level since 2010. Confidence also declined 11 points in Hong Kong (88) and six points in Japan (73).
