The study is part of a harmonised European Union programme of observations of
business trends and monitoring users and is representative of the population of 16 and
more years.
The object of the study are persons 16 years and over, the method of selection-casual
nesting and proportional to the population in the areas, including rural/urban population (153 nests with
8 persons in the nest). The method of sampling is an interview-face to face. The questionnaire contains
standardized questions, connected with the financial situation of households, the total
economic situation in the country, inflation, unemployment, savings intentions for
perform basic costs for articles with long-term use, and purchase of a home or
car. The offered variants of answer created the opportunity for their prioritisation of
optimistic in neutral to pessimistic. The balance of opinion is obtained as the difference
between the relative shares of positive and relative shares of negative posts with
the following feature: highly positive and highly negative opinion is given a coefficient of 1, and
more moderate positive and a more moderate negative posts-coefficient 0.5.
With the results of observations are intended to capture the direction of amendment of the
variables, including in "the level of trust of consumers, which, in turn, enables
to explore trends in the evolution of public opinion on the basic economic
processes and phenomena.
The indicator of consumer confidence is the average arithmetic of the balance sheets of
expectations for development over the next 12 months: the financial situation of the
households, the overall economic situation in the country, the savings of households and
unemployment, as the last balance sheet shall be reversed.
