The latest wave of the RED C Credit Crunch Tracker shows further increases in consumer confidence with half now believing the Irish economy will fare better in the next 6 months.

Yet, the personal benefits from the improved economic outlook are still lacking – this is the key reason why consumer spending is currently growing at a much slower pace than consumer confidence.
