Consumer confidence in the United Kingdom weakened in April, according to the latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) reading. The index declined to 43.3 in April 2026, down from 46.0 in March 2026.
The drop suggests households are feeling less optimistic about their personal finances and the broader economic outlook compared with the previous month. While no detailed sub-index data were provided, the lower headline reading indicates a softening in sentiment that could have implications for consumer spending patterns in the months ahead.
The April 2026 data were last updated on 09 April 2026.
