Country comparison

Consumer Confidence by Country

Consumer confidence indices summarise households' assessment of current economic conditions and expectations for the next six to twelve months. The Conference Board (US), University of Michigan (US), GfK (UK / Europe), Westpac-Melbourne Institute (AU), and ANZ-Roy Morgan (NZ) are the main published series.

Why compare Consumer Confidence across countries?

Consumer confidence is a leading indicator for consumer spending, which is the largest component of GDP. Sharp drops historically precede recessions and force central banks to ease, which weighs on the currency. The expectations sub-index is a particularly good lead on retail sales.

How to read the country list

Track the level relative to its long-run mean and the direction over the past three to six months — single monthly prints are noisy. The expectations sub-index tends to lead the present-situation sub-index by several months.
