CCI发表评论(0)编辑词条

The U.S. Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) is an indicator designed to measure consumer confidence, which is defined as the degree of optimism on the state of the economy that consumers are expressing through their activities of savings and spending. Global consumer confidence is not measured. Country by country analysis indicates huge variance around the globe. In an interconnected global economy, tracking international consumer confidence is a lead indicator of economic trends.

In the United States consumer confidence is issued monthly by The Conference Board, an independent economic research organization, and is based on 5,000 households. Such measurement is indicative of consumption component level of the gross domestic product. The Federal Reserve looks at the CCI when determining interest rate changes, and it also affects stock market prices.

The Consumer Confidence Index was started in 1967 and is benchmarked to 1985=100. This year was chosen because it was neither a peak nor a trough. The Index is calculated each month on the basis of a household survey of consumers' opinions on current conditions and future expectations of the economy. Opinions on current conditions make up 40% of the index, with expectations of future conditions comprising the remaining 60%. In the glossary on its website, The Conference Board defines the Consumer Confidence Survey as "a monthly report detailing consumer attitudes and buying intentions, with data available by age, income and region".

Another well-established index that measures consumer confidence is the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, run by University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. 
　　

消费者信心(Consumer Confidence，CCI/也有人称为消费者情绪Consumer Sentiment）是指消费者根据国家或地区的经济发展形势，对就业、收入、物价、利率等问题的综合判断后得出的一种看法和预期。在许多国家，消费者信心的测度被认为是消费总量的必要补充。
　　消费者信心指数（ICS）是反映消费者信心强弱的指标，是综合反映并量化消费者对当前经济形势评价和对经济前景、收入水平、收入预期以及消费心理状态的主观感受，预测经济走势和消费趋向的一个先行指标，是监测经济周期变化不可缺少的依据。
　　消费者信心指数由消费者满意指数和消费者预期指数构成。消费者的满意指数和消费者预期指数分别由一些二级指标构成：对收入、生活质量、宏观经济、消费支出、就业状况、购买耐用消费品和储蓄的满意程度与未来一年的预期及未来两年在购买住房及装修、购买汽车和未来6个月股市变化的预期。
　　从国外五十多年来理论研究和实践来看，消费者的信心与重要的宏观经济指标之间存在密切联系，对未来的整个经济发展趋势有相当的预见性，是宏观经济中的一个重要的先行指标。
　　l997年l2月，我国统计局景气监测中心开始编制中国消费者信心指数。北京于2002年初率先建立了消费者信心指数调查制度，并进行了试运行。相关专家的对调查办法、凋查项门以及指标计算办法等方向进行了评估和论证。从该指数编制和调查的结果来看，其与北京市的经济发展趋势是基本吻合的，与国家统计局景气监测中心发布的全国消费者信心指数的趋势也是一致的。这说明，北京巾的消费者信心指数调查是基本可信的，其意义也是显著的。
