ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence up 2.1pts to 72.8 driven by more people saying ‘good time to buy’ major household items
ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence increased 2.1pts to 72.8 in late June, its highest rating for over three months since early March. Consumer Confidence is 13.9pts lower than a year ago, June 16-22, 2025 (86.7), and now 1.6pts above the 2026 weekly average of 71.2.
An analysis by State shows Consumer Confidence increased in New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia, unchanged in South Australia, and down in Victoria.
Driving Consumer Confidence higher this week was more people saying ‘it’s a good time to buy’ major household items as over 6 million Australians shop in the annual End Of Financial Year (EOFY) Sales – expected to be valued at well over $10 billion, as well as fewer people worried about the Australian economy over the next year.
Now 16% (down 1ppt) of Australians say their families are ‘better off’ financially than this time last year compared to a majority of 53% (down 1ppt) that say their families are ‘worse off’.
Net views on personal finances over the next year were virtually unchanged this week with 22% (up 1ppt) of respondents expecting their family will be ‘better off’ financially this time next year, while 43% (unchanged), expect to be ‘worse off’.
Net sentiment regarding the economy over the next year improved this week with 6% (unchanged) of Australians, expecting ‘good times’ compared to 42% (down 4ppts), that expect ‘bad times’.
Net views regarding the Australian economy over the next five years were unchanged this week with 9% (up 1ppt) of Australians expecting ‘good times’ for the economy over the next five years compared to almost a third, 31% (up 1ppt), expecting ‘bad times’.
Net buying intentions improved for a sixth straight week with 22% (up 3ppts) of respondents saying now is a ‘good time to buy’ major household items compared to 42% (down 2ppts) that say now is a ‘bad time to buy major household items’.
ANZ Economist, Sophia Angala, commented:
“ANZ-Roy Morgan Australian Consumer Confidence lifted 2.1pts to 72.8pts last week, its highest level since early March, though it remains well below its 2025 average.
The improvement was broad-based across the subindices. The ‘time to buy a major household item’ subindex recorded the largest rise across the subindices and its sixth consecutive weekly rise, likely supported by end-of-financial-year sales events. Households are also feeling more confident in future economic conditions, likely due to the news of a US-Iran peace deal during the survey period.
Across the housing cohorts, mortgage holders were the only cohort to record a decline in confidence. This likely reflects the RBA’s decision to hold the cash rate at 4.35% last week, with the Monetary Policy Board retaining the option to hike rates should inflation prove more persistent. Meanwhile, renter confidence is now at its highest level since late February, prior to the escalation of conflict in the Middle East.”

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. Margin of error 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. Allowance for design effects (such as stratification and weighting) should be made as appropriate.
