In October 2024, the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) of the United States stood at 98.22. The CCI in the U.S. began to slowly increase over the later half of 2024 after a year of decline. The CCI is an indicator for the confidence of consumers regarding their expected financial situation and their likelihood to spend money in the next 12 months. A CCI value above 100 indicates an increase in consumer confidence and the chance that consumers will spend money on major purchases in the next year. A value below 100 indicates negative economic developments, as consumers are likely to save their money.

The Consumer Sentiment Index in the United States stood at 64.7 in January 2025, an increase from the previous month. The index is normalized to a value of 100 in December 1964 and based on a monthly survey of consumers, conducted in the continental United States. It consists of about 50 core questions which cover consumers' assessments of their personal financial situation, their buying attitudes and overall economic conditions.

The Great Recession was a period of economic contraction which came in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008. The recession was triggered by the collapse of the U.S. housing market and subsequent bankruptcies among Wall Street financial institutions, the most significant of which being the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. These economic convulsions caused consumer confidence, measured by the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI), to drop sharply in 2007 and the beginning of 2008. How does the Consumer Confidence Index work? The CCI measures household's expectation of their future economic situation and, consequently, their likely future spending and savings decisions. A score of 100 in the index would indicate a neutral economic outlook, with consumers neither being optimistic nor pessimistic about the near future. Scores below 100 are then more pessimistic, while scores above 100 indicate optimism about the economy. Consumer confidence can have a self-fulfilling effect on the economy, as when consumers are pessimistic about the economy, they tend to save and postpone spending, contracting aggregate demand and causing the economy to slow down. Conversely, when consumers are optimistic and willing to spend, this can have a reinforcing effect as wages and employment may rise when consumers spend more. CCI and the Great Recession As the reality of the trouble which the U.S. financial sector was in set in over 2007, consumer confidence dropped sharply from being slightly positive, to being deeply pessimistic by the Summer of 2008. While confidence began to slowly rebound up until September 2008, with the panic caused by Lehman's bankruptcy and the freezing of new credit creation, the CCI plummeted once more, reaching its lowest point during the recession in February 2008. The U.S. government stepped in to prevent the bankruptcy of AIG in 2008, promising to do the same for any future possible failures in the financial system. This 'backstopping' policy, whereby the government assured that the economy would not be allowed to fall further into crisis, along with the Federal Reserve's unconventional monetary policies used to restart the economy, contributed to a rebound in consumer confidence in 2009 and 2010. In spite of this, consumers still remained pessimistic about the economy.

Israel's consumer confidence index reached 45 points in January 2025, showing a slight improvement from December 2024. Still, public sentiment remained below the previous 12-month average of 48 points. This figure reflected the ongoing impact of the Israel-Hamas conflict on consumer sentiment, which has been relatively low since the war began in October 2023. The index provides insight into Israeli households' perceptions of their financial situations and major purchasing plans. Public consumption recovers Despite the subdued consumer confidence, the consumer market in Israel tells a different story. Private consumption reached over 250 billion Israeli shekels (about 68 billion U.S. dollars) in the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of almost 10 percent from the previous quarter. This was part of a longer upward trend in spending for three consecutive quarters. The gradual improvement in consumer spending suggests a steady recovery in the consumption side of the economy. Credit card transactions are growing Credit card transactions also demonstrated signs of recovery. In the first quarter of 2024, the total value of credit card transactions in Israel amounted to over 124 billion Israeli shekels (about 34 billion U.S. dollars), marking a 12.5 percent increase from the previous quarter. This growth was observed across both large and small businesses, with transactions in large businesses reaching over 82 billion Israeli shekels (about 22 billion U.S. dollars) during the first months of 2024.
