Consumer activity index

The index tracks how much consumption habits had to adjust in response to the coronavirus pandemics.

This is a measure of consumption volume and variety. The index tracks the relative number of consumers who are currently active and the breadth of demand for goods and services.

The index goes down if
• the number of stores that consumers visit drops
• the expenditures are concentrated in a narrow range of goods and servic

Consumer activity on Dec. 30 is set equal to 100%, as this is the most active day of a year.
