Britons Feel More Upbeat About Money — Biggest Mood Shift in Years

A survey by GfK shows UK consumer confidence rose six points to -17 in July 2026 — the sharpest monthly improvement since November 2023 and the best reading since January 2026. All five parts of the survey improved. GfK pointed to the "Burnham bounce," England's World Cup run, and sunny skies. Confidence still sits below pre-Brexit 2016 levels.
