Consumer confidence survey

26.02.2026

The consumer confidence indicator established by the Banque centrale du Luxembourg has risen in February 2026.

All components of the indicator evolved favourably this month, with the exception of households' perceptions of their past financial situation, which deteriorated. In February, households revised upwards their expectations regarding both the general economic situation in Luxembourg and their own future financial situation, as well as their intentions in terms of major purchases.

In total, the consumer confidence indicator – which is the arithmetic mean of the four components[1] – has risen in February 2026.

The results are presented in the table below:

Note: The consumer confidence indicator results from the average of balances related to (1) consumers’ expectations of the general economic situation in Luxembourg; (2) the perception of their financial situation over the past 12 months; (3) their expected financial situation over the next 12 months; and (4) their intended spending on major purchases (furniture, electrical devices…). Balances are constructed as the difference between the percentages of respondents giving positive and negative replies.

[1] The four components of the consumer confidence indicator are seasonally adjusted.
