“The increase in consumer confidence in July 2025 was mainly driven by the rise in the Consumer Expectation Index (CEI),” executive director of the BI’s communication department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, said in a written statement received in Jakarta on Friday.
According to the survey, the CEI in July stood at 129.6, up from 128.9 in June.
The higher CEI was supported by increases in the Income Expectation Index (IEI) and the Job Availability Expectation Index (JAEI), which reached 136.4 and 125.0, respectively, up from 133.2 and 124.1 the previous month.
Meanwhile, the Business Activity Expectation Index (BAEI) was at an optimistic 127.5, higher than the reading of 124.1 recorded in the previous month.
The Economic Condition Index (ECI) for July was recorded at 106.6—relatively stable compared to 106.7 the previous month, Prakoso said.
According to BI, the stability of the ECI was supported by the Current Income Index (CII) and the Durable Goods Purchase Index (DGPI), which remained in the optimistic zone at 117.8 and 106.6, respectively.
Though the Job Availability Index (JAI) increased to 95.3, it remained in the pessimistic zone.
The same BI survey also showed that the average propensity to consume in July stood at 75.4 percent, up from 75.1 percent in June.
Meanwhile, the saving-to-income ratio fell to 13.7 percent from 14.1 percent, and the debt-to-income ratio in July 2025 remained stable at 10.9 percent.
