Central News Agency (CNA) - The Research Center for Taiwan's Economic Development at National Central University announced today that the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) for June rose to 65.05 points, an increase of 2.97 points from the previous month, marking the best performance in four months.

The third to sixth largest increases were for "Purchasing Durable Goods in the Next Six Months," "Employment Op
