Country’s Economy for a Total Global Perspective

• The survey instrument Global @dvisor is conducted monthly in 24 countries via the Ipsos Online Panel system. A 25th
country, Egypt, was conducted via CATI (telephone) methodology.
• For the results of the survey herein, an total sample of 19,605 adults age 18-64 in the US and Canada, and age 16-64 in all
other countries, was interviewed between April 1st to April 15th 2014. Approximately 1000+ individuals were surveyed in
Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United States of America.
Approximately 500+ individuals were surveyed in Argentina, Belgium, Hungary, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi
Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden and Turkey.
• The results reported include n=560 in Egypt, a 25th country included in the Global Economic Pulse, conducted April 20th-
27th.. The sample in Egypt was conducted via CATI (telephone) methodology and has a margin of error of +/- 4.1% points, 19
times out of 20.
∙ In addition to above mentioned sample, the results in this report include n=509 fielded in the Republic of Ireland. The sample
in Ireland was conducted via online methodology and has a margin of error of +/- 4.3% points, 19 times out of 20.
• In countries where internet penetration is approximately 60% or higher the data output is comparable the general population.
Of the 24 countries surveyed online, 15 yield results that are balanced to reflect the general population: Argentina, Australia,
Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and United
States. The nine remaining countries surveyed –Brazil (45.6% Internet penetration among the citizenry), China (41%), India
(11.4%), Indonesia (22.1%), Mexico (36.5%), Russia (47.7%), Saudi Arabia (49%), South Africa (17.4%) and Turkey
(45.7%)—have lower levels of connectivity therefore are not reflective of the general population; however, the online sample in
these countries are particularly valuable in their own right as they are more urban/educated/income than their fellow citizens
and are often referred to as “Upper Deck Consumer Citizens”.
• The precision of Ipsos online polls are calculated using a credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.5
percentage points and of 500 accurate to +/- 5.0 percentage points. For more information on the Ipsos use of credibility
intervals, please visit the Ipsos website.
These are the findings of the Global @dvisor Wave 56 (G@56),
an Ipsos survey conducted between April 1st to April 15th , 2014.

Analytic Components…
 There are three analytic components that make up the findings of this monthly Economic Pulse report.
Each question is tracked and analyzed from questions dealing with:
• Thinking about our economic situation, how would you describe the current
economic situation in [insert country]? Is it very good, somewhat good, somewhat
bad or very bad?
The currently perceived macroeconomic state of
the respondent’s country:
• Rate the current state of the economy in your local area using a scale from 1 to 7,
where 7 means a very strong economy today and 1 means a very weak economy.
 The currently perceived state of the local economy:
• Looking ahead six months from now, do you expect the economy in your local
area to be much stronger, somewhat stronger, about the same, somewhat weaker, or
much weaker than it is now?
 A six month outlook for the local economy:

Global Economic Pulse Welcomes Ireland This Month
 Globally, a glimmer of hope appears as four in ten (39%) of respondents around the
world rate their national economies as ‘good,’ up one point from last month.
 The Global Economic Pulse welcomes Ireland this month for one-time participation in
the dataset, also known as “plug and play”. Irish respondents reflect national economic
confidence sentiments similar to the global average (34% rate national economy as
‘good’, compared with 39% overall) and slightly weaker sentiments related to their local
economy (17% in Ireland compared with 28% overall). Two in ten (22%) expect the
local economy to be stronger in the next six months, compared with one quarter (26%)
in all countries surveyed.
 Kieran O’Leary, Public Affairs Research Director in the Ipsos Dublin office:
“After six years of turmoil in the Irish economy, confidence has
been returning recently. This is a common theme across numerous
consumer confidence surveys, including our own local measurement
which is standing at its highest point in 10 years. With falling
unemployment levels and, more recently, rising house prices,
consumers are feeling more bullish about the prospects for the
economy. However these increases are likely quite fragile and
with a range of new tax measures hitting the economy during
2014, consumer confidence could yet fall back again.”

Ipsos Consumer Confidence: May 2014

  • 1. Global @dvisor A Global @dvisory – April 2014– G@56 The Economic Pulse The Economic Pulse of the World Citizens in 25 Countries Assess the Current State of their Country’s Economy for a Total Global Perspective
  • 2. A Global @dvisory – April 2014– G@56 The Economic Pulse 2 • The survey instrument Global @dvisor is conducted monthly in 24 countries via the Ipsos Online Panel system. A 25th country, Egypt, was conducted via CATI (telephone) methodology. • For the results of the survey herein, an total sample of 19,605 adults age 18-64 in the US and Canada, and age 16-64 in all other countries, was interviewed between April 1st to April 15th 2014. Approximately 1000+ individuals were surveyed in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United States of America. Approximately 500+ individuals were surveyed in Argentina, Belgium, Hungary, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden and Turkey. • The results reported include n=560 in Egypt, a 25th country included in the Global Economic Pulse, conducted April 20th- 27th.. The sample in Egypt was conducted via CATI (telephone) methodology and has a margin of error of +/- 4.1% points, 19 times out of 20. ∙ In addition to above mentioned sample, the results in this report include n=509 fielded in the Republic of Ireland. The sample in Ireland was conducted via online methodology and has a margin of error of +/- 4.3% points, 19 times out of 20. • In countries where internet penetration is approximately 60% or higher the data output is comparable the general population. Of the 24 countries surveyed online, 15 yield results that are balanced to reflect the general population: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States. The nine remaining countries surveyed –Brazil (45.6% Internet penetration among the citizenry), China (41%), India (11.4%), Indonesia (22.1%), Mexico (36.5%), Russia (47.7%), Saudi Arabia (49%), South Africa (17.4%) and Turkey (45.7%)—have lower levels of connectivity therefore are not reflective of the general population; however, the online sample in these countries are particularly valuable in their own right as they are more urban/educated/income than their fellow citizens and are often referred to as “Upper Deck Consumer Citizens”. • The precision of Ipsos online polls are calculated using a credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.5 percentage points and of 500 accurate to +/- 5.0 percentage points. For more information on the Ipsos use of credibility intervals, please visit the Ipsos website. These are the findings of the Global @dvisor Wave 56 (G@56), an Ipsos survey conducted between April 1st to April 15th , 2014.
  • 3. A Global @dvisory – April 2014– G@56 The Economic Pulse 3 Analytic Components…  There are three analytic components that make up the findings of this monthly Economic Pulse report. Each question is tracked and analyzed from questions dealing with: • Thinking about our economic situation, how would you describe the current economic situation in [insert country]? Is it very good, somewhat good, somewhat bad or very bad? The currently perceived macroeconomic state of the respondent’s country: • Rate the current state of the economy in your local area using a scale from 1 to 7, where 7 means a very strong economy today and 1 means a very weak economy.  The currently perceived state of the local economy: • Looking ahead six months from now, do you expect the economy in your local area to be much stronger, somewhat stronger, about the same, somewhat weaker, or much weaker than it is now?  A six month outlook for the local economy:
  • 4. A Global @dvisory – April 2014– G@56 The Economic Pulse 4 THE WORLD at a GLANCE
  • 5. A Global @dvisory – April 2014– G@56 The Economic Pulse 5 Global Economic Pulse Welcomes Ireland This Month  Globally, a glimmer of hope appears as four in ten (39%) of respondents around the world rate their national economies as ‘good,’ up one point from last month.  The Global Economic Pulse welcomes Ireland this month for one-time participation in the dataset, also known as “plug and play”. Irish respondents reflect national economic confidence sentiments similar to the global average (34% rate national economy as ‘good’, compared with 39% overall) and slightly weaker sentiments related to their local economy (17% in Ireland compared with 28% overall). Two in ten (22%) expect the local economy to be stronger in the next six months, compared with one quarter (26%) in all countries surveyed.  Kieran O’Leary, Public Affairs Research Director in the Ipsos Dublin office: “After six years of turmoil in the Irish economy, confidence has been returning recently. This is a common theme across numerous consumer confidence surveys, including our own local measurement which is standing at its highest point in 10 years. With falling unemployment levels and, more recently, rising house prices, consumers are feeling more bullish about the prospects for the economy. However these increases are likely quite fragile and with a range of new tax measures hitting the economy during 2014, consumer confidence could yet fall back again.” Ireland National economy: 34% Local economy: 17% Future local economy: 22%
  • 6. A Global @dvisory – April 2014– G@56 The Economic Pulse 6  After a steady couple of months, the average global economic assessment of national economies surveyed in 24 countries is on the rise this month as 39% (+1 point) of global citizens rate their national economies to be ‘good.”  Saudi Arabia (89%) continues to lead the global ranking by a significant margin, with these countries following behind: Germany (76%), China (68%), Sweden (66%), Canada (64%), India (60%) and Australia (60%). Those least likely to rate their national economies as ‘good’ are in France (9%), Italy (10%), Spain (10%), Argentina (17%), South Africa (16%) and Mexico (19%).  Countries with the greatest improvements in this wave: Russia (50%, 11pts), South Korea (23%, 7pts), Hungary (24%, 7pts), Australia (60%, 6pts), the United States (36%, 5pts), Italy (10%, 4pts) Spain (10%, 4pts), Indonesia (50%, 4pts) and Turkey (44%, 4pts).  Countries with the greatest declines: Sweden (66%, -14pts), Mexico (19%, -5pts), Egypt (32%, -4pts), South Africa (18%, -3pts) and Canada (64%, -2pts). Global Average of National Economic Assessment Up One Point: 39%
  • 7. A Global @dvisory – April 2014– G@56 The Economic Pulse 7  When asked to assess their local economies, 28% agree the state of the current economy in their local area is ‘good,’ on the global aggregate level. This is up one point since last sounding.  Saudi Arabia (64%) tops the list in terms of local economy assessments, followed by China (52%), Germany (52%), Sweden (49%), Canada (40%), Australia (40%) and India (38%). Spain (9%) is the lowest-ranking country on this measure, followed by Italy (11%), France (13%), Hungary (13%), Argentina (13%), Japan (14%) and Egypt (14%).  Countries with the greatest improvements in this wave: Brazil (31%, 9pts), Saudi Arabia (64%, 7pts), Turkey (37%, 7pts), South Korea (21%, 7pts), Belgium (24%, 5pts) and Australia (40%, 4pts).  Countries with the greatest declines: Sweden (49%, -11pts), Argentina (13%, -4pts), Egypt (14%, -4pts), Canada (40%, -4pts), South Africa (15%, -2pts), Germany (52%, - 2pts), Mexico (17%, -2pts) and Poland (19%, -2pts). Global Average of Local Economic Assessment (28%) Up One Point
  • 8. A Global @dvisory – April 2014– G@56 The Economic Pulse 8  A two-point improvement is seen (to 26%) among global citizens who expect their local economy will be stronger six months from now.  For the first time since 2010, Saudi Arabia (59%) tops Brazil (58%) on this measure. The rest of the highest-ranking countries are: India (53%), Indonesia (46%), Egypt (41%), China (41%), Mexico (31%) and Argentina (31%). Only 7% of those in France expect their future local economies will be “stronger” in the next half year, followed by Belgium (11%), South Africa (11%), Sweden (13%), and Japan (13%).  Countries with the greatest improvements in this wave: Saudi Arabia (59%, 10pts), Egypt (41%, 8pts), Russia (26%, 7pts), China (41%, 5pts) and Indonesia (46%, 4pts).  Countries with the greatest declines: South Africa (11%, -4pts), Argentina (31%, - 2pts), Sweden (13%, -2pts), Japan (13%, -2pts) and Spain (18%, -1pts). Global Average of Future Outlook for Local Economy (26%) Up Two Points
