FX.co ★ Irish Consumer Morale Improves Slightly

Ireland's Credit Union Consumer Sentiment Index rose to 61.0 in November 2025, up from a three-month low of 59.9 in October. This slight improvement reflects a modest easing of economic concerns, despite ongoing pressures on household finances. Over 50 percent of consumers reported a reduction in disposable income for the holiday season, leading to reductions in spending on entertainment and gifts out of fear that financial pressures on households could intensify. The downturn in consumer spending is a reaction to the consistent increase in food and energy prices as the festive period approaches.
