The survey on consumer confidence belongs to the group of economic indicators, which measure financial confidence among consumers. The more confidence in economic conditions consumers have, the more inclined they will be to spend money, which in turn stimulates the economy. Better than projected survey results usually signal that optimism among consumers has strengthened, while this may lead to higher spending in the country. Better results tend to provide support to the national currency. Mexicos Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) is to release the official reading at 13:00 GMT.
