In a recent update reflecting the sentiments of Israeli consumers, the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) experienced a subtle decline from December 2025 to January 2026. The PSI index registered a dip to 47.74 in January, following a previous month’s score of 48.42 recorded in December 2025, as per the data updated on January 15, 2026.

This decrease marks the continuation of a cautionary consumer outlook in the region, though the difference is relatively minor month-over-month. Such indices often indicate broader consumer confidence in financial stability, economic expectations, and spending intentions, which remain vital for economic policymakers, business strategists, and market analysts to monitor.

With this small but notable decrease, analysts will be keeping a watchful eye on how Israeli consumers perceive their economic environment in the months ahead, especially as global economic currents continue to present both challenges and opportunities. The January update reflects a period of careful consumer assessments across various economic conditions, including inflation and spending trends.
