What is it, and why should you pay attention to it? It's an indicator of confidence in the current economy, driven down recently by concerns about people's personal financial circumstance and their jobs. According to the most recent report, it has fallen by 3.3 points, the third straight decline, and is now at it's lowest level in 26 years at 67.7. This should improve next month as the stimulus package promised by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the January 27th budget is unveiled.
It's not all doom and gloom though, as according to the news release on the Conference Board of Canada web-site, consumers have indicated for the second month in a row, that now was a good time to purchase a big ticket item. That can only mean real estate. :-) So give me a call, let's talk about your needs.
