Mumbai, Dec. 19 -- German consumer confidence is expected to drop at the start of the year 2026 as rising inflation fears weigh on income expectations and purchase decisions, monthly survey data published jointly by NIQ/GfK and the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions showed Friday. The forward-looking consumer confidence index fell to -26.9 in January from revised -23.4 in December. Details showed that in December, economic expectations stagnated, while income expectations and willingness to buy declined. The willingness to save increased significantly by five points to 18.7, hitting highest since June 2008.
