Belgium Consumer Confidence
The consumer confidence index in Belgium provides succinct information about consumer's confidence in the direction of the economy's evolution. In order to calculate the index, more than 1,000 individuals are polled monthly over the phone to ask them about their expectations for the country's job and economic prospects, as well as their own financial condition and ability to save money. Positive responses outnumber negative responses on the index, with a score of zero indicating that Belgians are evenly divided on whether things will become better or worse for consumers in the coming year.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the EUR while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the EUR.
