According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Household Expectations Survey for July which measured consumers’ expectations, overall outlook of consumers in July 2024 was downbeat, as consumers anticipated drawing down on their savings or getting into debt.

The survey which was conducted during the period of July 22-26, 2024, with a response rate of 99.7 per cent from a 1,665 sample size, showed that on average, more households expected increased expenditure on basic commodities and services across all periods under review.

Majority of consumers believed that the review period would not be an ideal time to purchase big ticket items like Consumer Durables, Motor Vehicles, and Buildings & Landed Properties.
Similarly they expected the Naira to depreciate, while borrowing rate, inflation rate and unemployment rate will rise in the current month.

The respondent households also believed that the economy would end up weaker rather than stronger if prices started to rise faster than they do now. Given a trade-off between Inflation and Interest Rate, the majority of respondents would prefer lower Interest Rates.
