LONDON (dpa-AFX) - An index measuring consumer confidence in the United Kingdom declined in December, the latest survey from polling company GfK revealed on Friday, with a nine-month low score of -4.
That missed forecasts for -1, and it slid further into pessimism from the -2 reading in November.
'After seven months of flatlining within two points either side of -1, the index has finally moved just out of this range, and the bad news for the government is that it has moved downward,' said Nick Moon, managing director of social research at GfK.
