The consumer confidence index confirmed the initial value announced earlier this month and rose 5% month-on-month. The level of consumer confidence is still relatively low, 15% lower than the same period last year, but as inflationary pressure abated, the extremely negative attitude of consumers abated this month. One-year business conditions soared 25%, and the long-term outlook improved slightly, but it still reached an impressive 9%; but both of these indicators were well below 2021 levels. Also, the assessment of current and future personal finances is basically the same as in November.
