The consumer confidence index rose 1.5% on the month to post a reading of 65.35 in April following a reading of 64.39 in the previous month. Any reading above 100 indicates an optimistic outlook, while any reading below 100 indicates a pessimistic outlook.
The index of expectations for the general economic situation for the next 12 months declined by 0.2% on the month to post a reading of 86.12 in April. The lower reading index indicates that the number of consumers who expect a better general economic situation in the next 12 months has decreased compared with the previous month.
