Spain’s consumer confidence weakened in October 2026, according to the latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI), adding a cautious note to the country’s economic outlook.
The index fell to 45.22 in October from 46.82 in September 2026, on a month-over-month basis. The decline signals a softening in household sentiment compared with the previous month, when the indicator had reached 46.82. Although still relatively close to the prior level, the latest reading points to increased consumer caution heading into the final quarter of the year.
The data, last updated on 15 October 2026, reflects a direct month-over-month comparison, with the October reading measured against September and the September reading measured against the month before. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases to see whether this dip marks the start of a broader weakening trend in Spanish consumer confidence or a temporary pause in sentiment.
