Consumer Confidence Shows Signs Of Improvement
Despite concerns over the credit crunch, the public’s financial confidence remains buoyant, a new study indicates.
According to Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets’ latest Consumer Barometer, the nation’s optimism was driven by their faith in job security. Some 20 per cent of Britons feel more secure in their present employment than they did this time in 2005 - and with 18 per cent stating that they are less confident, the positive balance of two per cent was revealed to be the highest recorded since July 2005.
