Dr. Yuwa Hedrick-Wong, economic advisor, Asia/Pacific, MasterCard Worldwide, said UAE’s current consumer confidence score of 75.4 represented a drop from a period ago when it was 85.4 in 2008 and 78.5 a year ago. It is also below the market historical average of 83.5. “However, consumers remain highly optimistic especially about regular income (91.6), the economy (83.2) and quality of life (76.7).”
The index is calculated based upon percentage response figures, with zero as the most pessimistic, 100 as most optimistic and 50 as neutral. Five economic factors are measured: employment, the economy, regular income, stock market and quality of life.
According to Dr Wong, UAE consumers were somewhat more optimistic about the stock market (68.3) than they were a period ago (65.2) and year ago (73.4). However, consumer outlook on employment at 57.0, though still positive, has seen a significant drop, from 95.8 a period ago and 85.6 a year ago; representing the lowest index score for measurement for employment in the UAE since the beginning of the Index in the first half of 2004.
