Euro Area consumer confidence was confirmed at -17.7 in June 2026, improving from -19 in May and marking a second consecutive month of gains. Across the broader European Union, consumer sentiment also strengthened, rising to -17 from -18.2 in the previous month, as households became less pessimistic about the overall economy and their future financial situation. Consumers also reported a slight improvement in their assessment of their past financial situation and expressed a somewhat greater willingness to make major purchases.
