In April, the index of the public confidence measured by the Consumer Confidence Barometer conducted by GfK recorded a better value than a year ago. The index is currently at -37, compared to -40 in April 2012

The indicators on family income and economic situation of the country give mild signs of recovery.
If in April last year, almost 58% of respondents felt that their family's financial situation was worse than in 2011, now, after a year, only 49% of Romanians believe this, while 20% expect an even improved situation, and 41% remain the same as today. 12 percent say that they live better than in April 2012.
