activities; highlighting the potential predictive power of the data collated.
The PCSI offers clients all over the world a unique insight due to its global

The 24 country PCSI is a composite index of 11 questions that have been running
monthly in 22 countries since March 2010, in Brazil since 2005 and in the United

online sample that is weighted to the latest Census information of the general

France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden,
United Kingdom and United States with the remaining nine of Brazil, China,
India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Turkey are
comprised of more urban, educated and higher income respondents referred to as

"Ipsos is pleased to have an exclusive arrangement with Thomson Reuters to
deliver the world's only monthly 24-country Primary Consumer Sentiment Index"
said Dr. Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Global Public Affairs. "Since its launch
in March 2010, the 11 conditions identified with the index have already found
real marketplace correlations in each country that can range from consumer
spending and automobile registrations to unemployment and credit demand. We
share a common principle with Thomson Reuters of wanting to deliver the best
solution and service to our customers and are thrilled to be joining forces to
continue to deliver early and exceptional insight and value for its clients."
