Will the recent interest rate drop help your household finances?

Written By Agniete Dada

Only a small proportion of respondents (16%) say the recent interest rate drop will help their household finances, while a significant majority (84%) say it will not. This highlights a clear disconnect between headline economic changes and the lived financial reality for most households.

💡 Insight:

The results suggest that recent interest rate reductions are not yet translating into meaningful financial relief for most people. This may reflect ongoing pressures such as high living costs, fixed-rate mortgages, rent levels, or broader economic uncertainty. For many households, everyday affordability appears to outweigh any short-term benefits from monetary policy changes.
