With 135 points, consumer confidence in India rides high yet again. This is the fifth time that India is topping the twice-yearly Global Consumer Confidence Index conducted by The Nielsen Company.

The survey polled 26,486 Internet users in 47 markets from Europe, Asia Pacific, North America and the Middle East about their job prospects, the state of their own finances, and what they do with their spare cash.

The Confidence Index is slightly down by two points compared to the last survey, which was done in October 2006.

“Indian consumer confidence is in line with the release of the country's latest GDP figure of 9.4 percent - the highest growth India has posted in eighteen years,” said Sarang Panchal, Executive Director, Customized Research South East Asia for ACNielsen, a division of The Nielsen Company, “It is no surprise, therefore, to see forty-five percent of Indian consumers surveyed rating their job prospects in the next 12 months as 'excellent'”.
