Document Highlights

There was another drop in the Index of Consumer Confidence in December, as it slipped 5.7 points below the September level, to 118.0. The key driver in the decline was the reduced willingness of respondents to make major purchases. However, respondents have remained optimistic about their future financial situation since the last survey.
