The GfK Consumer Confidence Index for the United Kingdom increased by 2 points to -18 in June 2025, marking its second consecutive monthly gain after readings of -23 in April and -20 in May. The improvement was driven by a more optimistic view of the broader economy, although overall sentiment remains cautious amid ongoing global tariff disputes and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Subindexes related to the economy and its future outlook showed gains, while assessments of personal finances held steady. Neil Bellamy, Consumer Insights Director at GfK, noted that the boost was “driven by improvements in how consumers see the economy.” Still, he cautioned that rising oil prices due to Middle East conflict and persistent tariff tensions continue to weigh on sentiment.
