February consumer attitude index rises for the first time in 3 months Cabinet Office keynote judgment also revised upward

The "Consumer Attitude Index" in February, which shows consumers' willingness to shop, was 33.8 for households with two or more people, 4.2 points higher than January, rising for the first time in three months.

In response to this, the Cabinet Office has revised upward the keynote judgment of consumer sentiment from "weak" to "although it is still severe, there is a movement to pick up."
