The overall consumer confidence index in October 2025 fell by 4 points compared to July, the National Statistical Institute has reported. In July, the indicator decreased by 4.7 points compared to April.

In October, there was an increase in pessimism in opinions about the development of the general economic situation in the country for the past 12 months, as well as expectations for the next 12. Due to rising consumer prices, inflation expectations are preserved.

Regarding unemployment for the next 12 months, negativity is also rising. The current economic situation and the future one continue to be assessed by the majority of consumers as unfavourable for making savings. The attitude towards spending on buying or building a home and home improvements is also negative.
