Talk:Consumer Confidence Index

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Needs attention

I tagged this article for attention, because it's a bit meager, and I think this is a relatively important subject, as I seem to hear this term all the time on the news ;x. Subversive 04:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Right On! One year later, no progress. Make sense to remove the tag. Dilane 04:02, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A bit POV?

In the most simplistic terms, when their confidence is trending up, consumers spend money, indicating a healthy economy. When confidence is trending down, consumers are saving more than they are spending, indicating the economy is in trouble.

It is good that this passage qualifies itself by stating "In the most simplistic terms", but it seems to be both a bit inaccurate and a bit POV. Suppose that an economy is at risk of inflation, then a drop in consumer confidence would be a sign that there will be lower risk of inflation, and hence the economy would be less likely to be in trouble.

[edit] Adding globalise tag to article

Many countries in the world have a "Consumer confidence index", and the article needs to have information on the way other countries gather their Consumer Confidence Index statistics. I'm adding a globalise tag to this article. Kbbbb (talk) 15:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
