However, the latest reading remained above a final of 108.2 in September, the highest since June 2024, supported by consumer confidence, which rose to its highest level in 19 months in October. Employment reached a record high, despite the unemployment rate remaining steady at 2.6% in September. Meanwhile, cost pressures are expected to persist heading into year-end.
