	  <description><![CDATA[August 26, 2008 – The consumer climate for August was depressed further by the very subdued economic outlook. Even significantly lower crude oil prices did nothing to brighten the consumer mood. As a result, the indicator reflecting propensity to buy has continued to decline. Solely income expectations recovered after the sharp downturn in July. The consumer climate for September is therefore forecasting 1.5 points after a revised value of 1.9 points in August. The indicator last scored a comparable low value in summer 2003. ]]></description>
