This week’s decrease in Consumer Confidence has been driven by decreasing confidence about the performance of the Australian economy over the next year and next five years.

- Now 27% (up 1ppt) of Australians say their families are ‘better off’ financially than this time last year and 30% (up 3ppts), say their families are ‘worse off’ financially.
Future financial conditions
- In addition, 39% (unchanged) of Australians expect their family to be ‘better off’ financially this time next year compared to only 14% (up 1ppt) that expect to be ‘worse off’ financially.
Current economic conditions
- A decreasing proportion of Australians, 21% (down 1ppt), expect ‘good times’ for the Australian economy over the next 12 months while 17% (up 1ppt), expect ‘bad times’.
Future economic conditions
- In the longer term, just under a quarter of Australians, 24% (down 2ppts), are expecting ‘good times’ for the economy over the next five years compared to 12% (down 1ppt) expecting ‘bad times’.
Time to buy a major household item
- An unchanged plurality of Australians, 41%, say now is a ‘good time to buy’ major household items, while 25% (unchanged), say now is a ‘bad time to buy’.
ANZ Head of Australian Economics, David Plank, commented:
“Consumer confidence slipped 0.9% last weekend despite the federal government’s $1.2 billion support package aimed at restoring interstate tourism demand. We don’t think the drop in confidence was related to the two new COVID cases. The one in Sydney was revealed too late to be captured by the survey, while confidence in Queensland fell by a lot less than some of the other states. It is possible the drop in confidence could be linked to consumers being apprehensive about a future without the JobKeeper program, or the small decline could simply be a pure ‘noise’ in the data.”

Margin of Error
The margin of error to be allowed for in any estimate depends mainly on the number of interviews on which it is based. Margin of error gives indications of the likely range within which estimates would be 95% likely to fall, expressed as the number of percentage points above or below the actual estimate. Allowance for design effects (such as stratification and weighting) should be made as appropriate.
