Consumer confidence in the United Kingdom was up slightly in December, the latest survey from GfK revealed on Tuesday, with an index score of +2.

That beat forecasts for +1, which would have been unchanged from the November reading.

“This is the first time since the Consumer Confidence Barometer started in 1974 that the Index has remained positive for an entire calendar year,” said GfK Head of Market Dynamics Joe Staton.

But the score for outlook remained weak at -6.
