Kasi Insight has been collecting, analyzing and standardizing consumer data since 2016 through consumer surveys carried out monthly in Africa’s largest markets. The Kasi Consumer Confidence Index, which is our flagship index, is the first round of monthly consumer sentiment data in Africa, providing a necessary consumer-level view on economic activity and expectations on the biggest African markets. The methodology of the index conforms to the well-known consumer confidence data set and uses a balanced approach (-100 to +100).

The index which was launched in 2016 consists of seven data series tracing several data points on consumers such as current economic conditions, consumer expectations, personal finances, purchase intention, discretionary spending and employment prospects.

Bloomberg Data License clients now have access to data from Kasi Consumer Confidence to model consumer demand, industry performance, and forecast macroeconomic data such as GDP, inflation, unemployment rate and even rates. interbank loans from African markets. The index can also be used to gauge performance such as retail sales and category performance.

Kasi Insight has created and perfected a data acquisition model that allows it to efficiently conduct multi-country surveys, using a consistent method and schedule from various regions of Africa.
