Consumer confidence index on overall livelihood Japan 2014-2024

The consumer confidence index is calculated based on the survey results of 8,400 households (3,024 one-person households and 5,376 households with two or more people) in Japan. The survey is conducted on the 15th of every month online and via mail.

From the responses, the overall index is calculated; seasonal adjustment via X-12-ARIMA. An index value above 50 indicates a positive mood of consumers, a reading below 50 points to a negative assessment.
