The survey's Index of Consumer Expectations is an official component of the US Index of Leading Economic Indicators.
"Proven accuracy: Data from the Surveys of Consumers have proved to be accurate indicators of the future course of the national economy. The data are widely used by a broad range of business firms, financial institutions, and federal agencies. The Index of Consumer Expectations is an official component of the Index of Leading Economic Indicators, devised by the US Department of Commerce. Each component is selected on its predictive performance, economic significance, and statistical characteristics. No other consumer survey meets these rigorous criteria. " |
