This week’s increase in Consumer Confidence has been driven by increasing confidence about the performance of the Australian economy over the next year and next five years.

Current economic conditions
- An increasing proportion of Australians, 22% (up 4 ppts), expect ‘good times’ for the Australian economy over the next 12 months while 16% (down 1ppt), expect ‘bad times’.
Future economic conditions
-
In the longer term, over a quarter of Australians, 26% (up 2ppts), are expecting ‘good times’ for the economy over the next five years compared to 13% (unchanged) expecting ‘bad times’.
Time to buy a major household item
-
An increasing plurality of Australians, 41% (down 1ppt), say now is a ‘good time to buy’ major household items, while 25% (unchanged), say now is a ‘bad time to buy’.
ANZ Head of Australian Economics, David Plank, commented:
"The ANZ Roy-Morgan Consumer Confidence index rose 1.5% along with generous gains in four out of five of the sub-indices. The rise likely reflects the strong gains registered by ANZ Job Ads and the GDP numbers released last week. Job Ads grew 13.4% y/y in February and Australia saw two consecutive quarters of economic growth of more than 3% for the first time in history. The long weekend of Victoria may also have contributed, as confidence rose 2.1% in the state."
