China’s consumer confidence continued to strengthen in August, with the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) climbing to 74.79, up from 72.84 in July 2026.
The latest reading, updated on 14 August 2026, signals a modest improvement in sentiment among Chinese consumers over the course of the month. The increase suggests that households in China are feeling slightly more optimistic about their financial conditions and the broader economic outlook compared with the previous month.
While the data provided do not break down the components of the index, the upward move in August extends the positive momentum seen in July, offering a supportive signal for domestic demand in the world’s second-largest economy.
