China: Consumer Confidence Index (CCI)

Macro

2026-08-31

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

Latest data shows that China's consumer confidence index slightly decreased to 89.2 in the third quarter of 2026, falling short of the previous quarter's 89.4 and remaining below the 100 boom-or-bust threshold. Affected by the property market slump, a weak labor market, and extreme weather, consumer spending sentiment remains conservative. Market expectations suggest that in the absence of large-scale stimulus, short-term domestic demand will remain under pressure.
