The state-run Statistics Poland (GUS) agency said its Current Consumer Confidence Index, which describes current trends in personal consumption, went up by 1.4 points in June, while remaining in negative territory of “minus 9.9” points.
Polish consumers surveyed this month were more positive about the economy than a month earlier, and their evaluation of their financial prospects and spending power also improved from May, according to Statistics Poland.
The Current Consumer Confidence Index was, however, 0.6 points lower than in June last year, the statistical office said.
Meanwhile, the so-called Leading Consumer Confidence Index, which provides an insight into expected trends in personal consumption in the coming months, rose by 0.8 points in June from May, to "minus 7.7" points, Statistics Poland reported.
It added that consumers were more upbeat than a month earlier in their evaluation of the future condition of the economy and the financial position of their households.
The Leading Consumer Confidence Index was 3.1 points lower in June than in the same month of 2025, the office reported.
Both consumer confidence indicators take values from -100 to +100. A positive value means that optimistic attitudes prevail among consumers, while a negative value indicates a prevalence of pessimistic views.
The latest consumer sentiment study was conducted between June 1 and 11.
More than 52 percent of those surveyed said their responses were impacted by "the current situation in Ukraine," Statistics Poland reported.
