          "The Central Bank of Nigeria Household Expectations Survey put the overall consumer-sentiment index at -18.7 points in September 2026, down from -9.9 in August. September purchase-intention indices were -68.2 for houses, -67.3 for motor vehicles, -50.7 for investments, -49.5 for household appliances and other consumer durables, and -32.0 for rent; these are index points, not percentages of households. The average-price sentiment index rose to 33.5 points from 23.0 in August. Respondents prioritised food, transport, household goods, education, electricity and water."
