May 05, 2025 (MLN): The Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) in Pakistan remained broadly stable at 40.6 points in April compared to 40.4 points last month, according to a survey report released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

Sentiments regarding the Current Economic Conditions (CEC) index also increased slightly by 1% to 41.3 points, while the Expected Economic Conditions (EEC) index was down by 0.6% to 39.9 points over the previous wave.

At the same time, inflation expectations decreased by 0.4% to 66.6 points. While concerns regarding unemployment in the next 6 months fell marginally by 0.8% to 69.4 points.

The CCI report assesses consumers’ confidence about the economy as well as their personal financial situation.

The overall CCI is calculated from survey results and evaluated within a range of 0–100, indicating an optimistic outlook when the index is above 50 while showing a pessimistic attitude towards future economic situations when it is below 50.

The index reflects the ‘current situation’  economic changes witnessed in the last six months as well as ‘future expectations’ that take into account changes expected in the next six months across the country.
