BEIJING-- Chinese consumer confidence picked up slightly in August as people spent more on non-essentials during the summer holiday amid easing inflationary worries, according to an index released on Friday.
The Bankcard Consumer Confidence Index (BCCI), compiled by the Xinhua News Agency and 皇冠体育app UnionPay, a national bank card association, increased by 0.1 point month-on-month to reach 86.21 points in August.
On a year-on-year basis, however, the BCCI index was still down 0.15 points, according to the report.
