The Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) for Israel has recorded a slight increase in consumer confidence, climbing from 44.92 in September 2025 to 45.71 in October 2025. This uptick in the index indicates a modest improvement in consumer feelings about personal financial situations, economic expectations, and the climate for purchasing durable goods.

Updated on 09 October 2025, the month-over-month comparison showcases a positive shift, suggesting that Israeli consumers may be regaining some optimism amidst the prevailing economic conditions. While the current figure of 45.71 is still below the 50-point threshold that signifies overall positive sentiment, the increase from September's figure highlights a small but significant step towards bolstering consumer confidence.

The PCSI is a critical measure used to gauge the ebb and flow of consumer sentiment, offering valuable insights into potential changes in consumer spending habits, which are pivotal to economic health. As the index edges upward, economic stakeholders will be keen to see if this trend continues, signaling a stable road to recovery for the Israeli market.
