Iranian Consumer Confidence Falls to New Low Amid War‑Driven Inflation
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Consumer sentiment in Iran dropped to a record low in May, according to a survey released by the Iranian Ministry of Finance. The index fell to 47.9, the lowest level recorded since the survey began in 2014, as ongoing conflict and rising prices weigh on households.
The Ministry said the decline reflects growing worries about inflation and the impact of the war on the economy. Officials noted that the sentiment index had been steadily rising before the sharp drop in May.
The survey, conducted across major cities, highlights the broader economic strain felt by Iranians amid continued military tensions.
