China: Consumer Confidence Index (CCI)

Macro

2026-10-01

Description

China Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) is compiled and published by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China. This index measures consumers' subjective perceptions of the current economic situation, their outlook on the economy, income levels, income expectations, and consumer sentiment. It serves as a leading indicator for predicting economic trends and consumption behavior.

A reading above 100 generally indicates that consumers are optimistic about the economy and their financial situation, which may boost consumer spending, whereas a reading below 100 suggests pessimism about the economic outlook, potentially leading to reduced spending.

AI Data Insight

The latest China Consumer Confidence Index for Q3 2026 slightly rebounded to 89.5, a marginal improvement from the previous 89.2, but remains well below the 100 boom-or-bust threshold. Under the pressure of a weak real estate market and a strained job market, residents' consumption willingness remains conservative. The market expects that without large-scale targeted stimulus, short-term domestic demand will continue to face challenges.
