Confidence is rising in consumers

Posted February 3rd, 2010 by Greg

Reports have it that consumer confidence rose in Britain over January, driven by improving optimism over the outlook for the economy and personal finances, which was shown by Gfk NOP for the European Commission showed last Friday.

The survey was conducted between January the 8th and 17th – and showed an increase in consumer spending. It’s done on a point system, this January stands at 20 points higher than that of previous January’s.
Managing director of GfK NOP social research, Nick Moon said, “Alongside the news that the economy has just crept out of recession, the return of the CCB to upward movement after two months of falling back will be welcome news for the government,”

Data from the Gfk NOP showed the economy grew by a much weaker-than-expected 0.1% in the fourth quarter of 2009, which meant it just crept out of the 18-month recession.

Businesses all over the UK should start to see sales begin to pick up throughout 2010.
