GfK: a further boost in willingness to buy
The GfK Consumer Confidence Index remained virtually unchanged in March 2015, compared to the end of last year.
The GfK Consumer Confidence Index is standing on 164.8 points in March 2015, which is practically the same value, compared to the previous period, ie December 2014.
The beginning of the year gave a 7 point impetus to the willingness to buy. Compared to December, less people expect an increase in unemployment, as well as the consumer prices to rise. The proportion of those who have savings decreased by about 19 percent. The number of those who consider real estate as a good investment declined by 24 percent.
