The consumer confidence in Portugal fell for the second consecutive month to -19.2 in November of 2021, from -11 in the previous month. It was the lowest reading since March, amid concerns over rising Covid-19 infections. This evolution was mostly due to a deterioration in perspectives around the future evolution of the country’s economic situation (-30.9 vs -3.8 in October), and, to a lesser extent, of the expectations regarding households’ future financial situation (-4.9 vs 0.1). Opinions on the evolution of households’ past financial situation (-12.7 vs -12.6), as well as expectations about the evolution of households’ spending on major purchases in the future (-28.1 vs -27.6) also contributed negatively. source: Statistics Portugal
