The indicator peaked at 7.3 in June 2021 and reached a trough of -36.3 in September 2022. As of the latest data, consumer sentiment stands at -17.2, which is below the historical average but an improvement from the 2022 low. Recent momentum shows a decline of 3.8 pp over the past three months, 0.9 pp over six months, and 1.0 pp over the past year, indicating a slight downward trend in sentiment. Yearly averages reveal a significant dip in 2022, with some recovery in 2023 and 2024, though the incomplete data for 2026 suggests a return to lower levels.",
