To compute the flash consumer confidence indicator for the EU and euro area, the Directorate-General Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN) of the European Commission uses the data available on the cut-off date. The estimation procedure combines historical data with information from those Member States for which data are available in the reference month. Experience has shown this procedure to be statistically reliable.
Eurozone Consumer Confidence unchanged in January
In January 2017, the DG ECFIN flash estimate of the consumer confidence indicator was broadly unchanged in both the euro area (+0.2 points to -4.9) and the EU (+0.3 points to -4.3) compared to December 2016.
