The consumer confidence index rose from -36.7 in February to -32.6, reaching its highest level since January 2010, primarily due to a decline in the unemployment rate and improvements in the domestic economic situation and household financial conditions.
At the same time, business confidence continued to strengthen, with recovery in the manufacturing, public works and construction, trade, and service sectors in February, as the index rose from -0.8 in January to -0.6.
