In October 2025, Switzerland's consumer sentiment index remained steady at -37, unchanged from September and consistent with the same period last year. Despite this stability, the outlook for the overall economy has worsened, as reflected by the economic outlook sub-index dropping sharply to -49 from -30 in October 2024. This indicates heightened pessimism regarding future growth prospects. Conversely, households reported feeling slightly less financial strain compared to a year ago. Improvements are noted in the sub-indices for their past financial situation (-40 compared to -53), their expected financial situation (-32 compared to -34), and the purchase climate (-26 compared to -32).
