The ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence rating for Australia rose by 3.6 per cent to 114.6 in the week ended 17 May 2015, to the highest level since early November 2014. Confidence is up a cumulative 5.4 per cent over the last fortnight, suggesting a more positive reaction to the Federal Government’s Budget and the interest rate cut in May. Budget measures aimed at households and micro businesses were likely key reasons for the lift in confidence. This is in marked contrast to 2014, when a number of unpopular tightening measures saw confidence plunge to 99.3 in the weeks following the Budget.

The ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence rating for Australia fell by 0.6 per cent to 111.7 in the week ended 8 February 2015. The modest change likely reflects the positive impact from interest rate cuts, somewhat offset by concerns about the economy and federal government leadership speculation. Confidence in the economic outlook over the next year fell by 3.6 per cent, but expectations of household finances compared with a year ago rose by 1.3 per cent. This sub-index is most correlated with household spending
