Flash consumer confidence indicator for EU and euro area
In September 2019, the DG ECFIN flash estimate1 of the consumer confidence indicator2 increased in both the euro area and the EU (by 0.6 points in both areas). At −6.5 points (euro area) and −6.4 points (EU), both indicators remain on a broadly horizontal trajectory well above their respective long-term averages of −10.7 (euro area) and −10.0 (EU).
