In France, the Consumer Confidence index gauges the sentiment of about 2,000 households on their economic outlook and personal financial situation. The index reflects perceptions of past and future economic conditions, unemployment, and major purchase intentions. Values above 110 indicate high optimism, while those below 90 suggest high pessimism, making it a useful indicator for assessing consumer spending trends and overall economic health.
