KIEV, July 23 – Ukraine’s consumer confidence fell in June for the first time in 10 months, reflecting people’s growing concerns with the government’s economic policy, GfK Ukraine Co. and the International Center of Policy Studies (ICPS) reported.

The consumer confidence index, or CCI, fell 2.6 notches to 94.5 in June, ending a period of 10 months of steady growth, the report said.

"The wave of consumer optimism is falling,” the companies said in the report. "The positive impact of the new government is coming to naught. This is in line with the fall in confidence in the president, the Regions Party and the authorities seen in June."
