The Consumer Confidence Index

In the third quarter of 2025, the Consumer Confidence Index, calculated according to Rosstat’s methodology, declined by 3.4 p.p., amounting to –2.5%.

The Consumer Confidence Index excluding the current economic situation component, measured according to Eurostat’s methodology, stood at -1.1%, while the average for the European Union in July 2025 was considerably lower – at -13.5%.

The decline in the index was primarily driven by more negative assessments of the country’s economic situation, whereas perceptions of households’ own financial situation remained unchanged from the previous wave.

The proportion of respondents reporting a decrease in income slightly increased, reaching 28%.

The shares of those who had lost their job in the past two weeks and those reporting job loss among acquaintances remain minimal.

A total of 58% of respondents reported a shortage of personnel in their sector of employment.
