UK consumer confidence rose to -8 in August from -11.75 in July. The reading was the highest since August 2024, according to the OECD. The index remains far below its all-time high of 12 set in May 1978 but has recovered from a low of -19 in April 2026. It is also above the -10.5 recorded a year earlier and well above the all-time low of -43.5 in September 2022. The August figure marks a notable improvement from the recent trough.
