As we saw with unemployment, it is people
who drive the economy, so their income and
their demand for goods and services directly
affect a country’s economic growth. When
consumers demand more, economies tend to
grow faster, and when their demand shrinks,
we experience an economic slowdown.
Common consumer-related indicators include
retail sales, durable goods orders, consumer
confidence, consumer sentiment and ZEW
(economic sentiment), and tend to come out
on a monthly basis.
