🇬🇧 UK CONSUMER CONFIDENCE — JAN 2026 (GfK) 📊
UK consumer sentiment continued its slow recovery at the start of 2026.
Latest Reading:
• GfK Consumer Confidence: -16
• Dec 2025: -17
• Nov 2025: -19
• Forecast: -16 (in line)
Key Takeaways:
• 2025 ended as a “year of no progress” despite late-year improvements
• Major Purchase Index at -11, signaling better big-ticket demand
• Confidence far above 2022 lows (-49) but still below long-term avg (-10)
Generational Split:
• Ages 16–29: Positive confidence
• Ages 50–64: Still deeply cautious due to cost-of-living pressure
Why it matters:
Improving sentiment helps consumption, but confidence remains fragile, keeping UK growth and BoE policy expectations finely balanced.
📈 Gradual recovery
⚠️ Still not “healthy” confidence
