Consumer morale in the United Kingdom showed a slight improvement in September, according to the latest GfK Consumer Confidence reading released on 24 September 2026. The index ticked up to -13 from -14 in the previous reading, both recorded in September 2026.
While the indicator remains in negative territory, the one-point rise suggests that sentiment among UK consumers has become marginally less pessimistic. The move from -14 to -13 indicates that households may be feeling somewhat more resilient about their personal finances and the broader economic outlook, though confidence is still subdued overall.
The September update will be closely watched by businesses and policymakers as they assess the strength of domestic demand and the durability of any potential consumer-led recovery in the UK economy.
