Consumer confidence in the United Kingdom improved in June 2026, according to the latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) data. The index rose to 47.4 in June from 44.9 in May 2026, signaling a notable uptick in households’ views on the economic environment.
The increase suggests that UK consumers have become more optimistic compared with the previous month, as sentiment moved closer to the crucial 50-point threshold that typically separates pessimism from optimism. The updated figures, released on 11 June 2026, indicate that perceptions of personal finances and the broader economic outlook may be stabilising after a weaker reading in May.
While the PCSI remains below 50, the improvement to 47.4 highlights a gradual recovery in confidence that could support consumer spending in the months ahead, a key driver for the UK’s domestic economic activity.
