In Euro Area, the Consumer Economic Sentiment Indicator measures the level of optimism that consumers have about the economy. The survey is made by phone and covers 23 000 households in the Euro Area. The number of households sample varies across the zone. The questions focus on current economic and financial situation, savings intention as well as on expected developments regarding: consumer price indexes, general economic situation and major purchases of durable goods. The Consumer ESI measures consumer confidence on a scale of -100 to 100, where -100 indicate extreme lack of confidence, 0 neutrality and 100 extreme confidence.

Latest Updates

Euro Area consumer confidence rose to -14.2 in October 2025, the highest in eight months, from -14.9 in September and confirming the preliminary estimate. In the broader European Union, sentiment also improved, up 0.8 points to -14.3 in October, driven by more positive consumer expectations regarding the general economic situation in their countries and a better outlook for their households’ future finances. However, these improvements were partly offset by a decline in intentions to make major purchases. Meanwhile, consumers’ assessment of their financial situation over the past three months remained largely stable.
