Consumer confidence index |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
Consumer confidence index. The consumer confidence index is released each month by the Conference Board, an independent business research organization. It measures how a representative sample of 5,000 US households feel about the current state of the economy, and what they anticipate the future will bring. The survey focuses specifically on the participants' impressions of business conditions and the job market. Economic observers follow the index because when consumer attitudes are positive they are more likely to spend money, contributing to the very economic growth they anticipate. But if consumers are worried about their jobs, they may spend less, contributing to an economic slowdown. How to thank TFD for its existence?
