FILIPINOS were the third most optimistic consumers among 14 Asia-Pacific economies, as economic activity in the region picked up, a survey by US-based think tank The Conference Board showed.
Based on the results of the latest Global Consumer Confidence Survey, the Philippines scored 119 on the consumer confidence index (CCI) during the first three months of the year. However, this was four points lower than country’s CCI score of 123 in the fourth quarter last year.
The Philippines’ score was a tad higher than the Asia-Pacific average of 118 during the quarter, ranking third behind India and China.
Globally, the Philippines ranked fifth out of 65 economies, placing after India, Saudi Arabia, China, and the United Arab Emirates.
