In September 2025, UK consumer confidence saw a slight dip, as revealed by the latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI). The index, which provides insights into the economic outlook and financial confidence of consumers, decreased from 50.6 in August to 49.9 in September.
The decline reflects a potentially growing concern among consumers about the country's economic prospects. The downward shift in sentiment comes amidst ongoing discussions about economic stability and potential impacts of various internal and global economic factors on the UK economy.
The updated data, released on 11 September 2025, indicates that while consumer confidence remains fairly stable, there are subtle signs of eroding confidence which could signal challenges ahead. This development highlights the importance for policymakers and economists to closely monitor consumer trends as they prepare to navigate the ensuing financial landscape.
