Rbi Consumer Confidence Survey

Through the consumer confidence survey, RBI will seek responses from households on the overall economic situation prevailing in the country.

Respondents were also bleak about the year-ahead prospects, with the future expectations index dropping to 96.4 from 108.8 in the period under review, the RBI said

The current perception compared with one-year ago fell to a record 48.5 in May from 53.1 in March, shows the survey where 100 is the level that divides pessimism from optimism.

Union Finance Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday said he has no answer for people with blinkers, when he was asked to react to the Reserve Bank of India's consumer confidence survey.

The RBI has been regularly conducting the survey on inflation which provides "useful policy information".

The number of people who felt that their financial circumstances have improved went up marginally to 57.1 per cent in December, 2011, from 56 per cent in September, as per the latest consumer survey by the RBI.
