Taiwan Consumer Confidence
In Taiwan, consumer confidence survey (CCI), published by the National Central University's Research Centre for Taiwan Economic Development (RCTED), measures consumers’ expectation of the economic situation in the coming six months. The CCI survey covers six indices: domestic business condition, employment opportunities, family economic conditions, investment in stocks, inflation expectations and willingness to buy durable goods. The overall index is an unweighted average of the six sub-indices. A value between 0 and 100 indicates pessimism, while a value between 100 and 200 indicates optimism. The index is based on a telephone survey of around 2,400 randomly selected adults over the age of 20, which is conducted nationwide in the third week of each month.
