Consumer confidence in the Euro zone has shown a slight improvement in August, according to preliminary figures released by the European Commission. The indicator rose to -23 in August, up from -25 in July.

This modest increase suggests a marginal improvement in consumer sentiment within the Euro zone. However, the figure remains in negative territory, indicating that consumers are still generally pessimistic about the economic outlook.

Further data and analysis are expected to provide a more detailed understanding of the factors driving this change in consumer confidence.
