## Definition

Private households are saving an above-average proportion of their income compared with a longer observation period before. This is being closely monitored by central banks. This is because weak consumption has a direct impact on the financial market. In particular, securities issued by the consumer goods industry and department stores suffer price losses as a result. - See fear saving, graveyard market, goods, purchase frequent, confidence indicator, two-pillar principle.
