27.03.202600:01:00UTC+00UK GfK Consumer Confidence Slips Further Into Negative Territory in March

Consumer sentiment in the United Kingdom weakened in March, with the GfK Consumer Confidence Index falling to -21, down from -19 in February 2026. The latest reading, updated on 27 March 2026, signals a modest deterioration in how households view their financial situation and the broader economic outlook.

The further decline keeps the gauge firmly in negative territory, indicating that pessimists continue to outnumber optimists among UK consumers. While the shift from -19 to -21 is relatively small, it suggests that households remain cautious, which could weigh on discretionary spending and, in turn, on near-term economic momentum. Policymakers and markets are likely to watch upcoming readings closely for signs of either stabilisation or a deeper erosion in confidence as the year progresses.
