Understanding Consumer Confidence — a simple guide

What it measures

The OECD standardised consumer confidence indicator, based on household surveys about their financial situation, the economy and plans for major purchases.

How it is calculated

Household survey answers are combined and standardised by the OECD so that 100 equals the long-term average.

Simple example

A reading of 97 means households are more pessimistic than usual.

▲ When it is high or rising

Optimistic households tend to spend more.

▼ When it is low or falling

Pessimistic households tend to save more and spend less.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

Consumer mood affects spending decisions; a sharp fall in confidence often comes before weaker retail sales.

How to read it

100 is the long-term average. Values above 100 mean households are more optimistic than usual; below 100, more pessimistic.

What to look at alongside it

Retail sales, inflation and unemployment.

Key terms

Sentiment
How people feel about the economy and their own finances.
