The correct answer is: "Positive consumer attitudes influence spending habits".
Consumer expectations and attitudes affect market demands. Positive attitudes contribute to boost demand for goods and services. This leads to increases in production which are necessary if producers aim to serve the increased demand. Augmented production means there is an increase in the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) figures, and therefore economic growth.
