Optimistic Brits

In Q2 2015 grocery retail sales only fell more in Greece, Finland and Switzerland than in the United Kingdom, where value sales dropped 0.8 percent and volume sales reduced by 0.4 percent from the level of Q2 2014 – reveals the Nielsen GrowthReporter. Despite this fact the consumer confidence index was 99 points – this value is the closest to the 100-point optimism threshold from 30 European countries Nielsen surveyed. 53 percent of Brits think positively of their personal finances in the next 12 months – the European average is 40 percent.
