The Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) climbed from 73.2 points in August to 74.2 last month. A level below 100, however, still reflects weak consumer sentiment. The higher confidence is good news for the retail industry, as more consumers believe it is the best time in seven months to buy a new house or new car or to travel, and for small and medium-sized enterprises to expand their businesses.
