22.04.202614:12:12UTC+00Eurozone Consumer Confidence Drops to Over 3-Year Low

Euro area consumer confidence fell by 4.3 points in April 2026 from the previous month, to -20.6, its lowest level since December 2022, according to flash estimates. The decline highlights growing caution among households in the face of an uncertain economic outlook. Persistent geopolitical tensions and disruptions to shipping are driving up energy costs and adding to inflationary pressures, which risk eroding household purchasing power. Expectations for further ECB interest rate increases have eased slightly in recent weeks, although markets still anticipate two hikes this year. Across the broader European Union, consumer sentiment also deteriorated sharply, dropping 4.2 points to -19.4. In both the euro area and the EU, confidence remains well below long-term average levels.
