In South Korea, the Composite Consumer Sentiment Index (CCSI) measures the level of optimism that consumers have about the performance of the economy. The index is based on a survey of around 2200 households. The CCSI is computed as a sum of six variables, including current living standards, prospective household income and prospective spending. A CCSI above 100 indicates an improving outlook and below 100 a deteriorating outlook.

Latest Updates

South Korea’s Composite Consumer Sentiment Index stood at 109.8 in October 2025, down slightly from 110.1 in September. Consumer sentiment regarding current living standards remained steady at 96, while expectations for the future outlook were unchanged at 100. Sentiment about future household income held at 102, and expectations for future household spending stayed at 110. Consumers’ views on current domestic economic conditions were unchanged at 91, while expectations for future domestic economic conditions fell three points to 94. Overall, the data suggest a modest softening in confidence mainly driven by a weaker outlook for the economy. Inflation expectations edged up slightly, with the one-year, three-year, and five-year anticipated rates all at 2.6%. Despite minor declines in some indicators, consumer sentiment continues to reflect broadly positive confidence in the economy.
