The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released the Consumer Confidence Survey for the month of May 2019.
- The CCS is conducted in 13 Indian cities.
- The RBI’s latest round of CCS shows that depression has gripped urban India as far as economic sentiments are concerned.
- The net share of respondents who think they will spend more, either now or a year from now, on non-essential items has fallen to an all-time low since September 2015.
- Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) has had an average share of 56% in India’s GDP between 2014-15 and 2018-19.
- A decline in discretionary spending, such as on consumer durables, travel, or even eating out, is leading to a decline in PFCE’s contribution to overall economic growth.
