Descripción:In May 2019, the methodology of the Consumer Confidence Survey was modified, changing from fixed to mobile telephony, so the previous four surveys were conducted with both methods to investigate the effect on the Consumer Confidence Index (ICC), among other statistics of interest. In three of the surveys no evidence of differences in the magnitudes of the ICC was found. In addition, the decrease in confidence recorded by the index from May to November was with both types of survey (-16,8 points with the fixed and -16,0 points with the mobile) and the increase in confidence in the following surveys was similar (6,6 and 6,4, respectively). It is concluded that, in general, the magnitude of the ICC estimates, and other indicators of interest, is similar using both methodologies and also reproduces the same trend.
