Ipsos’ Global Consumer Confidence Index is up 0.7 point this month and sits at 47.4. The index shows a slight uptick following last month’s sharp decline and now sits in line with its reading from this time last year. Among 30 economies measured, just two countries show significant declines in consumer sentiment, while five countries show a notable gain. The Expectations and Investment sub-indices both show increases this month, while the Current and Jobs sub-indices are stable. Based only on the “legacy 20 countries” tracked since March 2010, the Index would read at 45.7, a 0.9-point increase from April. Sentiment is up in Europe this month. Hungary (+7.4 points) shows the largest increase among all countries, and Ireland (+2.5 points) is also up significantly. No country in Europe declined significantly this month. In contrast, consumer confidence is mixed in Latin America. Colombia (-4.6 points) and Mexico (-3.0 points) both declined sharply this month. However, Brazil (+3.1 points) is up significantly. The Global Consumer Confidence Index is the average of all surveyed countries’ Overall or “National” indices. This month’s installment is based on a monthly survey of more than 21,000 adults under the age of 75 from 30 countries conducted on Ipsos’ Global Advisor online platform. This survey was fielded between April 24 and May 8, 2026.
