Irish households saving less as inflation ticks upwards

Fall in Irish savings rate attributed to both higher prices as well as higher volumes of goods and services being bought

Between April and June 2025, household spending on goods and services was €40.2bn, an increase of 2.2%, before price or seasonal adjustments, the CSO said.

The household saving rate fell marginally in the three months between April and June, latest data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO).

Figures released on Friday show the seasonally adjusted household saving rate was 12.5%, or €1 in €8, of household disposable income.
