Pakistan consumer confidence shows strong recovery in Q1 FY2026

December 18, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan’s consumer confidence has shown a robust year-on-year recovery and shows improving sentiment among households, according to a tweet by Khurram Schehzad on X.

The data is based on the latest Consumer Confidence Survey (Q1 FY2026) conducted by D&B Pakistan and Gallup Pakistan.

The survey revealed that overall consumer confidence is up 19% YoY.

This is a clear rebound from last year’s lows despite a slight quarterly cooling.

The Future Confidence Index stands at 98.2 and indicates that consumers expect stabilization rather than further deterioration in the near term.

Household finances continue to anchor confidence as 62% of respondents expect their financial situation to improve or remain unchanged over the next six months.

Similarly, income expectations remain positive because 63% foresee household income increasing or staying stable over the coming year.

Younger respondents remain the most optimistic about future income prospects. This trend could support medium-term demand and overall economic recovery.

Sustained disinflation and visible job support could convert this household-led optimism into stronger confidence, higher savings capacity and increased consumption in upcoming cycles.
