Credit Union Consumer Sentiment Survey ahead to 2030
We chat to Austin Hughes on a regular basis about monthly or even quarterly consumer sentiment but now he’s thinking much further ahead to 2030 in fact. He also compares the consumer mood on either side of the border. For Example 37% of consumers here in Ireland think that the jobs market will be weaker whereas the number for the North is 39%. Households in the South think that their incomes will be higher in 5 years slightly more optimistic than in Northern Ireland. Austin Hughes is the compiler of the Credit Union Consumer Sentiment Survey.
