This figure was slightly lower than July’s CCI of 118.1.
“Consumer confidence in August 2025 remained well-maintained, supported by the Current Economic Conditions Index (CECI) and the Consumer Expectations Index (CEI), both of which stayed at optimistic levels,” said Executive Director of BI’s Communications Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, in Jakarta on Wednesday.
The Current Economic Conditions Index or CECI in August stood at 105.1, slightly below July’s 106.6.
According to the survey, the stability of the CECI was supported by two components: the Current Income Index (CII) at 116.9 and the Durable Goods Purchasing Index (DGPI) at 105.1, both still in the optimistic zone.
Meanwhile, the Job Availability Index (JAI) remained in the pessimistic zone at 93.2.
The Consumer Expectations Index (CEI) for August was 129.2, relatively stable compared to July’s 129.6.
The CEI was driven by the Income Expectations Index (IEI) and the Business Activity Expectations Index (BAEI), which rose slightly to 136.7 and 128.2 respectively, from 136.4 and 127.5 in the previous month.
The Job Availability Expectations Index (JAEI) also stayed in the optimistic zone at 122.8, though down from July’s 125.0.
The survey further recorded that the average propensity-to-consume ratio fell to 74.8 percent in August, from 75.4 percent in July.
At the same time, the debt-to-income ratio increased to 11.4 percent, up from 10.9 percent, while the saving-to-income ratio remained stable at 13.7 percent.
