country’s economic climate continued to show signs of improvement.
National Central University, which conducts the monthly consumer confidence survey, said the CCI rose 1.69 points from a month earlier to 91.13, the highest the index has ever been since the university started the survey in January 2004.
Among the CCI’s six sub-indexes in the CCI, which reflect how consumers feel about aspects of Taiwan’s economy over the coming six months, five trended higher in February while one sub-index registered a month-on-month fall, the survey found.
The university said the stock investment sub-index showed the highest month-on-month gain of 7.50 points from a month earlier as it improved to 104.80, followed by a 2.05-point gain in the business climate sub-index to 87.65. [FULL STORY]
