Call You and Yours: Consumer Confidence

On this week’s Call You and Yours, we're asking how confident do you feel about spending right now?

Since the conflict in the Middle East began, consumer confidence has taken a knock. According to new KPMG research, fewer than half of the people they surveyed — just 42% — expect to make any major purchases in early 2026.

There are some positives though. Around one in four say they do plan to put money toward a holiday.

What about you? Are you happy to open your wallet, or are global tensions and rising prices making you a bit more cautious?

Get in touch now - email youandyours@bbc.co.uk and please include a phone number so we can call you back. You can also call us on 03700 100 444 after 11am on Tuesday 23rd March
