ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence up 0.6pts to 75.3 with more confidence about personal finances over the next year
ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence increased 0.6pts to 75.3 in early July. Consumer Confidence is 11.2pts lower than a year ago, July 7-13, 2025 (86.5), and now 3.6pts above the 2026 weekly average of 71.7.

Net sentiment regarding the economy over the next year also improved this week with 6% (down 1ppt) of Australians, expecting ‘good times’ compared to 37% (down 3ppts), that expect ‘bad times’.
Net views regarding the Australian economy over the next five year actually slightly deteriorated this week with 8% (down 1ppt) of Australians expecting ‘good times’ for the economy over the next five years compared to over a quarter, 27% (up 1ppt), expecting ‘bad times’.
Net buying intentions were virtually unchanged this week with just 19% (unchanged) of respondents saying now is a ‘good time to buy’ major household items compared to 43% (up 1ppt) that say now is a ‘bad time to buy major household items’.
ANZ Economist, Sophia Angala, commented:
“ANZ-Roy Morgan Australian Consumer Confidence recorded a slight rise of 0.6pts last week. The lift was driven by improving confidence in economic and financial outlooks over the next 12 months, with the latter subindex at its highest level since early March. The decline in confidence in the medium-term economic outlook occurred in the same week as the speech by RBA Assistant Governor Hunter, as we see noting that economic growth will need to be slower to return inflation to the RBA’s 2–3% target band.
Weekly inflation expectations rose last week, after four consecutive weekly declines. This may reflect inflation risks, as the Middle East conflict re-escalated during the survey period. Despite the rise, inflation expectations have been trending down since April. On a four-week moving average basis, inflation expectations are at their lowest level since mid-March.”

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.
