Irish Consumer Spending falls for fourth time in past five months in September
Visa’s Irish Consumer Spending Index, produced by IHS Markit, which measures expenditure across all payment types (cash, cheques and electronic payments), signalled a renewed downturn in household expenditure in September. At -2.0% year-on-year, the fall was the second-fastest since the series began in September 2014, behind only that seen in June.
