The Central Bank of Luxembourg published its consumer confidence indicator for May 2026, showing a slight decline to -14 from -13 in April. The decrease was driven by a marked deterioration in households’ assessment of their financial situation over the previous 12 months, while the other components were broadly unchanged. Expectations for the general economic situation in Luxembourg over the next 12 months stabilized at -33 after worsening in April. Households’ expectations for their own financial situation over the next 12 months and their intentions to make major purchases were unchanged from April, following improvements in the previous month. The headline indicator is the arithmetic mean of four seasonally adjusted components covering the general economic outlook, households’ past financial situation, households’ future financial situation and major purchase intentions.
