Global Consumer Confidence Rebounds: Nielsen Consumer Confidence Index Up Nine Points in Last Six Months But Spending Still Restrained
The world is emerging from the economic crisis, and with it, global consumer confidence is rebounding, according to the latest edition of the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence Index, which jumped from 77 index points in April to 86 points last month. Brazil and key Asian markets are posting double-digit increases in consumer sentiment, while the U.S. recorded its first increase in consumer confidence since 2007. Despite this renewed sense of optimism, actual behaviour remains restrained; many consumers remain skittish about spending their money, and in some countries, spending habits appear to have changed permanently.

Asia Pacific Advertising Slowdown bites hard in 2009
Towards the end of 2008, the global downturn was adversely impacting advertising spending throughout many key markets around the world, with Europe and the Americas struggling more than others. The exception to this was Asia Pacific (APAC), the one region that appeared to be relatively impervious to the worst of the downturn. Beginning quite late in 2008, and escalating as the first quarter of 2009 unfolded, the majority of APAC markets were finally succumbing to declining economic conditions with substantial declines in advertising activity. Hand in hand with consumer confidence declining further in the new year, most APAC countries witnessed substantial ad spend cutbacks; although still not resembling the severity of those experienced in some other regions.
