read moreHaving slipped from -9 to -13 index points during the second quarter of 2021, the FNB/BER Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) recovered some lost ground to -10 in the third quarter of 2021. The partial recovery can be ascribed to upticks in the household financial position and time-to-buy durable goods sub-indices. Fiscal support in the form of the reintroduction of the SRD grant and cash allowances for government employees to a large extent countered the adverse impacts of the civil unrest on consumer confidence. The rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations to the 35-49 age group from 15 July and subsequently to the 18-35 age group from 20 August probably also bolstered the confidence levels of these age groups. In all, the latest reading points to a level of resilience among consumers and by extension consumer spending during the third quarter of 2021.

The decline in the CCI during the second quarter of 2021 can be ascribed to a deterioration in the economic outlook and the time-to-buy durable goods sub-indices of the CCI.

The recovery to -9 index points brings the CCI back in line with the reading recorded in March 2020, just before South Africa entered its first strict nationwide lockdown. Although it is heartening that the CCI has now recovered most of its COVID-19-induced losses, consumer confidence in general remains depressed - the latest reading of -9 is still well below the average CCI reading of +2 since 1994.

The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent severe economic restrictions sent the CCI crashing from an already depressed level of -9 in the first quarter to a 35-year low of -33 during the second quarter, but the CCI has now regained most of its lost ground. Nevertheless, the latest reading of -12 constitutes the lowest festive season CCI reading since 2015.
