ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence rose 1.3pts to 85.5 in the week to 20 April. Consumer Confidence is now 5.2 points above the same week a year ago (80.3), but it is 0.8pts below the 2025 weekly average of 86.3.

Looking forward, 29% (up 1ppt) of Australians expect their family to be ‘better off’ financially this time next year, while 26% (down 4ppts) expect to be ‘worse off’ (the lowest figure for this indicator since May 2022).
