About Malaysia Consumer Confidence Index
In Malaysia, the Consumer Sentiments Index survey is conducted quarterly on a sample of over 1200 households. Respondents are asked to evaluate on their household's current and expected financial positions and their employment outlook. Questions relating to plans to buy houses, new or used cars and other major consumer durable are also asked. A value above 100 indicates expected improvement in conditions, a value below 100 shows lack of confidence and 100 indicates neutrality.
