Reino Unido Confianza Del Consumidor

The GfK Consumer Confidence Index in the United Kingdom rose by 2 points to -20 in February 2025, reflecting a slight improvement as households expressed more optimism about their personal finances and the broader economic outlook. Neil Bellamy, the consumer insights director at NIQ GfK, highlighted the shift from January, when all five key measures of consumer confidence declined, to February, when all of them saw an uptick. Consumers also benefited from lower borrowing costs, offering some relief amid ongoing economic uncertainties, which have been intensified by US President Donald Trump’s tariff threats. However, concerns remain about sluggish economic growth and persistent inflation, which could potentially lead to stagflation. Recent data revealed that the UK economy grew at a near standstill in the second half of 2024, while inflation surged unexpectedly to a ten-month high of 3% in January.
