Households' perception of prices

  • Source: INSEE.

Revisions

Due to the annual re-estimation of seasonal adjustment models (SA), some models have been updated and long-term averages recalculated. This annual re-estimation is added to the one made each month. In addition, the weights of the various balances used to calculate the synthetic indicator have been updated as every year in December. However, these changes have not resulted in any major revisions to previously published data.

The November 2024 synthetic household confidence index has not been revised (after rounding).

For more information

Definition – The synthetic household confidence index summarizes household opinion on the economic situation: the higher its value, the more favourable household judgment of the economic situation is. It is calculated using a factor analysis technique, which enables to summarize concomitant movements of highly correlated variables. Here the index describes the common factor of 8 balances of opinion: the past and future general economic situation in France, the past and future personal financial situation, unemployment, major purchases intentions, current saving capacity and expected saving capacity.

Calculation method – For each question, a balance of opinion is calculated as the difference between the percentages of positive and negative answers. As the level of these balances is not open to direct interpretation, comments are based on their changes and their distance to their long-term average. Seasonal coefficients are calculated again every month, hence the slight revision of the seasonal adjusted balance history in each publication.

Around 2,000 households are surveyed by telephone, during the first three weeks of each month. Answers to this survey were collected between 26 November and 17 December 2024; most households answer during the first two weeks of collection.

This survey is part of the Joint Harmonised European Programme of Business and Consumer Surveys, partly funded by the European Commission.
