Consumer confidence rose to the highest level since the near-collapse of Northern Rock Plc triggered the credit crisis in Britain more than six years ago.
A consumer-sentiment index by GfK NOP Ltd. rose 6 points to minus 7 in January, the most since September 2007, the London-based research group said today. The median forecast of 20 economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for a one-point increase to minus 12.
