ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence fell 2.1pts to 83.4 in the week to 27 April. Consumer Confidence is now 2.2 points above the same week a year ago (81.1), but 2.7pts below the 2025 weekly average of 86.1. Analysis by State shows mixed results; the weekly decrease was driven by falls in Victoria and Queensland, while Consumer Confidence was virtually unchanged in New South Wales and Western Australia, and increased slightly in South Australia. Now 15% of Australians (down 1ppt) say their families are ‘better off’ financially than this time last year (the lowest figure for this indicator since June 2023), while 47% (up 1ppt) say their families are ‘worse off’. Looking forward, 26% (down 3ppts) of Australians expect their family to be ‘better off’ financially this time next year (the lowest figure for this indicator since April 2020, in the early days of the pandemic), while 30% (up 4ppts) expect to be ‘worse off’. Now 10% (unchanged) of Australians expect ‘good times’ for the Australian economy over the next 12 months, while 29% (also unchanged) expect ‘bad times’. Meanwhile, 22% (unchanged) of Australians say now is a ‘good time to buy’ major household items, while 38% (down 2ppts) say now is a ‘bad time to buy’.
