Consumer confidence has taken a hit this month, falling one point lower to -21 as The UK's budget looms ever nearer. This was mainly due to consumers predictions for the economic performance deteriorating over the next 12 months, despite what seems to suggest a slight improvement in personal finances.
This month's drop in confidence was markedly lower than September's drop of 7 points, but this was mainly attributed to Labour's doom and gloom messaging around the budget.
