Euro Area Consumer Confidence
The Consumer Economic Sentiment Indicator gauges the level of confidence that consumers have in the economy in the Eurozone. About 23 000 households throughout the Eurozone are surveyed via telephone in this analysis. Each zone has a different number of households to sample. The inquiries concentrate on the current economic and financial condition, savings plans, and anticipated changes in consumer price indices, the general economic situation, and large purchases of durable goods. On a scale of -100 to 100, the Consumer ESI assesses consumer trust, with -100 indicating great lack of confidence, 0 indicating neutrality, and 100 indicating extreme optimism.
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.
