Confidence Survey

DRi's Consumer Confidence Survey, which is based on a representative sample of at least 1,700 Indonesian households across six different main areas, is conducted by Danareksa Research Institute and reported every month. This survey is based on face-to-face interviewing. The sample for this national survey is scientifically selected to accurately represent Indonesian consumer characteristics, demographically and economically.

Consumer confidence is designed to measure the mood of consumers towards buying, and thus help to predict buying patterns. Although other economic indicators are also predictors of buying patterns, consumer confidence tends to be available sooner than these indicators. Consumer confidence is also designed to capture the effect of events that may affect buying patterns, but are not immediately reflected in other economic indicators. The CCI is also one of the components in the leading indicator index DRi is establishing as a guide to predicting where the Indonesia economy is heading.
