It should be noted that the Worldwide Consumer Confidence Index is a relatively new venture and so is not statistically valid in every instance for comparative purposes. Nevertheless, the number participating in the survey is increasing and with your participation, and that of the many others reading this article, the number will be statiscally sound in short order.
