Consumer confidence survey

Consumer confidence declines slightly in June 2022.  

The Banque centrale du Luxembourg’s consumer confidence indicator has declined slightly in June 2022.

The components of the indicator have evolved in various ways this month. In June, households’ perceptions regarding their personal financial situation and their intentions in terms of major purchases have stabilised. In the meantime, their expectations regarding both the general economic situation in Luxembourg and their personal financial situation have decreased.

In total, the consumer confidence indicator, which is the arithmetic mean of the four components[1], has declined slightly in June 2022.

The results are presented in the table below:

Note: The consumer confidence indicator results from the average of balances related to (1) consumers’ expectations of the general economic situation in Luxembourg; (2) the perception of their financial situation over the past 12 months; (3) their expected financial situation over the next 12 months; and (4) their intended spending on major purchases (furniture, electrical devices…). Balances are constructed as the difference between the percentages of respondents giving positive and negative replies.

This survey is co-financed by the European Commission.
