Global consumer confidence rose two points in the first quarter of this year to an index of 92 driven by record confidence gains in the Middle East/Africa following social and political unrest in the region and strong-performing Asia Pacific economies, according to the latest data from The Nielsen Company. Asia Pacific’s* consumer confidence index jumped 10 points from last quarter to reach 107 – its highest score on record and Middle East/Africa surged 17 points to a new high of 106. Consumer confidence levels above or below a baseline of 100 indicate degrees of optimism or pessimism.

“Global recovery, despite its slow pace, is heading in the right direction,” said Dr. Venkatesh Bala, Chief Economist at The Cambridge Group, a part of The Nielsen Company. “Still, more than half (55%) of global online consumers say they are currently in a recession, and of those, 51 percent expect to be in a recession for at least another year.”
