October
Monthly change in each index’s own points, for the markets that have already published October. Sizes are not comparable across scales; the direction is.
Europe on a common scale
The European Commission builds one harmonised indicator from the same survey in every member state. It is the only like-for-like level comparison in this report.
Coverage
Morocco (HCP), South Africa (FNB/BER) and the Philippines (BSP). South Africa is filled in monthly with Ipsos.
India (Reserve Bank of India), with each policy meeting; Ipsos covers the months between. Saudi Arabia’s Ipsos index is irregular.
Egypt, the UAE and Kenya. We show the business PMI instead, always flagged as a proxy for demand, not a confidence reading.
| Market | Index | Institution | Frequency | Reference |

Every value comes from a public source and was checked against it on 2 November 2026: 236 readings across 43 series from 32 institutions. We use the official release first and press that cites the institution when its site cannot be read. Nothing is estimated or interpolated; months with no release stay empty.
We use the latest published value, since several institutions revise their seasonally adjusted series. Germany’s NIM/GfK index is placed in its survey month. Canada uses the last weekly Bloomberg Nanos reading of each month. Italy has a series break in September after a change of fieldwork contractor.
For Germany and Italy, position against the threshold comes from the European Commission’s harmonised series, since their national indices publish no neutral point.
