The Reserve Bank of India ( RBI) in its latest consumer confidence survey has showed that consumer confidence remained very low in November 2020 when compared to a year ago, though it showed a marginal improvement over the all-time low recorded in the previous round.
The report noted that weak confidence is attributable to the consumer sentiments on general economic situation, employment scenario, price levels and household incomes. As per the report, households remain optimistic about the one year ahead situation, with the future expectations index (FEI) remaining in growth terrain at 115.9.
Respondents reported higher essential and overall spending, though discretionary expenditure contracted; non-essential spending is expected to contract further in the coming year. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the survey was conducted through field interviews, wherever possible, and telephonic interviews elsewhere, during October 30 - November 12, 2020 in thirteen major cities, viz., Ahmedabad; Bengaluru; Bhopal; Chennai; Delhi; Guwahati; Hyderabad; Jaipur; Kolkata; Lucknow; Mumbai; Patna; and Thiruvananthapuram.
