Consumer confidence in overall economy and technology increases in March, according to CEA indexes
Consumer confidence in the overall economy and sentiment toward technology increased in March, according to the latest figures released by CEA. Both indexes saw increases after two consecutive months of declines, but both remain below March 2012 levels. The CEA Index of Consumer Expectations, which measures consumer expectations about the broader economy, rose 4.2 points in March to 169.5. The CEA Index of Consumer Technology Expectations rose 2.5 points in March to reach 79.9. "Despite lower sentiment levels than this time last year, the economy continues to exhibit strength," said Shawn DuBravac. "Consumers are perhaps generally shrugging off higher payroll taxes, sequestration and uncertainty from across the Atlantic."
