The Westpac McDermott Miller Consumer Confidence Index in New?Zealand rose to 91.2 in the June quarter of 2025, up from 89.2 in the prior period, though still well below its long-run average. The latest reading was shaped by mixed domestic growth and major geopolitical uncertainties, alongside ongoing cost-of-living pressures on households facing higher food, insurance and utility bills. The ‘good time to buy’ measure climbed from –15.6 to –9.5, signaling a modest rebound in willingness to purchase big-ticket items. Confidence was weakest in Wellington at 77.9, while Southland led at 96.8—buoyed by firm commodity prices and a pickup in international tourism.
