Consumer Confidence is 121.9 (down 1.8pts in a week) according to the weekly Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Rating conducted on the weekend of August 29/30, 2009. Consumer Confidence is now 22.6 points higher than a year ago, August 30/31, 2008 (99.3).

The small fall in the weekly Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Rating has been driven by decreasing confidence about the prospects for Australia in the next 5 years.

In the long-term, (52% down 3%) of Australians expect ‘good times’ economically over the next five years compared to 12% (up 2%) that expect Australia to have ‘bad times.’

In the short-term of the Australian economy, 40% (unchanged) of Australians say we’ll have ‘good times’ financially in the next 12 months compared to (24%, up 2%) that say we’ll have ‘bad times’ financially.

Over half of Australians, 52% (up 1%) say ‘now is a good time to buy’ major household items compared to 24% (up 3%) that say ‘now is a bad time to buy’ major household items.

In terms of personal finances, now 42% (unchanged) of Australians expect their family to be ‘better off financially’ this time next year compared to 13% (unchanged) of Australians that expect their family to be ‘worse off financially.’

Compared to a year ago 30% (up 3%) of Australians say their family is ‘better off financially’ compared to 33% (up 2% of Australians that say their family is ‘worse off financially.’

Gary Morgan says:

“The weekly Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Rating has fallen slightly over the past week (down 1.8pts to 121.9). Despite this pullback, Consumer Confidence is 22.6pts higher than it was at this time last year — at the onset of the global financial crisis.

“The strong weekly Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Rating during the past few months is in line with the latest figures released on the Australian economy — showing the Australian economy grew by 0.6% in the June Quarter, a result that confirms Australia has ‘bypassed’ the worst of the worldwide economic slowdown.

“Roy Morgan’s latest unemployment figures for August (7.4%, down 0.2%) — released today — show the continued strength in Australian Consumer Confidence — and thus in consumer spending, has supported employment around Australia and helped prevent Australian unemployment rising as far as many economists predicted.”

This weekly Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence rating is based on 1,050 face-to-face interviews conducted Australia-wide with men and women aged 14 and over on the weekend of August 29/30, 2009.

Margin of Error

The margin of error to be allowed for in any estimate depends mainly on the number of interviews on which it is based. The following table gives indications of the likely range within which estimates would be 95% likely to fall, expressed as the number of percentage points above or below the actual estimate. The figures are approximate and for general guidance only, and assume a simple random sample.  Allowance for design effects (such as stratification and weighting) should be made as appropriate.
