At a Glance
Economic confidence assessments continue to improve this wave with another one-point uptick, landing at 37% of global citizens indicating they agree their current national economic situation is “good”. After a shaky downward turn seen at the end of 2012 (35% in November) and the hesitant improvement last month (36%), this ( % ) p ( %),wave’s continued improvement brings the global aggregate indicator back to where it was last autumn.
On the regional level, economic assessments tell different stories around the world. g ,The one-point global improvement is driven primarily by a sharp rise in the Middle East (+6 points to 56%), where South Africa (+11pts to 33%), Saudi Arabia (+4pts to 86%) and Turkey (+1 pt to 48%) all show improvements this month.
North America (-2 pts to 47%), the region touted as the global winner last month, yields muted disappointment this sounding. The two-point drop is due to performance in the United States (-2 pts to 29%) and represents a halt to the humble upward American trend seen in recent months.
It is noteworthy that Europe, which continues to drag the global average every month, climbs 3 points this sounding to 24%. This movement is driven by sharp rises in Sweden (+16 pts to 73%) and Belgium (+6 pts to 27%). The rest of the countries in the
