Consumer Survey August 2021: Consumer Confidence Restrained in Response to Mobility Restrictions

Press Releases

No.23/231/DKom

The latest Consumer Survey conducted by Bank Indonesia in August 2021 indicated restrained consumer confidence in economic conditions as the Government extends mobility restrictions to overcome the highly contagious Delta variant of coronavirus. Such conditions were reflected by a lower 77.3 Consumer Confidence Index (CCI)[1] compared with 80.2 in July 2021.

Meanwhile, consumer expectations of future economic conditions have shown early signs of improving driven by expectations of incomes and business activity moving forward in response to greater mobility as restrictions on public activity are relaxed.

More information concerning the Consumer Survey is available on the Bank Indonesia website.
