In October 2025, consumer confidence in the Euro Area climbed to -14.2, marking its highest level in eight months and improving from -14.9 in September. This figure surpassed market predictions of -15. The improved sentiment can be attributed to reduced borrowing costs and declining inflation in recent months. Nevertheless, uncertainties linger concerning fiscal policies throughout Europe and the potential repercussions of trade tariffs, which could obscure future prospects. Across the European Union overall, consumer sentiment experienced an increase as well, rising by 0.8 points to -13.5.
