Household spending expected to increase

16 December 2024

A survey has found that household finances are the strongest they’ve been for two years. [1]

Consumers seem to be feeling more confident. Since September 2022, the number of people who say they are in financial trouble has halved. Meanwhile, there has been an increase in the number of consumers who have spare cash to spend on luxuries or put in their savings. This is expected to prompt an increase in spending.

However, many are still proceeding with caution. 72% of survey respondents plan to make cuts to their spending over the next three months – the same proportion as this time last year.
