Taipei, Dec. 28 (CNA) Consumer confidence in Taiwan weakened in December, with the number of people planning to purchase durable goods over the next six months falling steepest, though the outlook still remained optimistic, a survey released Monday by National Central University (NCU) showed.
The consumer confidence index (CCI) for December fell 2 points from a month earlier to 70.9, according to the monthly survey.
The index consists of six indicators reflecting public confidence over the next six months. The sub-indexes for family finances and the equity market rose, while confidence in consumer prices, local economic climate, employment and possible purchases of durable goods all fell.
