“The end of social distancing and the associated boost to retail, leisure and entertainment spend brought about an immediate rebound in economic activity, and GDP grew by 4.8% in Q2 2021. Consumers have also responded positively, with Mintel’s current financial wellbeing and financial confidence trackers reaching new record-highs in June.
This increase in consumer confidence had an immediate impact on consumer savings levels, and on credit spending. The amount that people saved fell sharply, although it does still remain well above pre-pandemic levels. The Bank of England estimated that by the end of June 2021, consumers would have around £250 billion more in savings than would have been expected had COVID never hit, potentially translating to a mini-consumer boom in the coming months.”
