Sceala Irish Craic Forum Discussion:     Irish top Christmas spending list

Last year 2006 saw the Irish in Ireland as the Biggest Spenders in Europe at Christmas- according to Deloitte survey.
Irish Christmas spending reached EUR1,300 per household, twice the European average.
A year ago
* Irish consumers again most optimistic about economy and job security
* Significant growth in Internet spend this year
* Irish spend most in Europe on children’s presents – with games consoles and dolls leading the toy choice this year

Irish consumers will be the biggest spenders in Europe again this Christmas with the average household in Ireland expected to spend EUR1,431 during the holiday season
Irish people will once again be the top European Christmas shoppers again this year, according to Deloitte's annual consumer survey of Christmas spending.
Irish households will spend €1,431 on average on Christmas this year, an increase of 6.9% on last year, despite uncertainty surrounding our economic future.
Households here will spend €720 on gifts, €431 on food and €279 on socialising.
The survey also found that Irish consumers believe that because of rising food prices they will have to spend less money on gifts in order to buy the same volume and quality of food.
52% of those surveyed said they intend to shop online, which puts us the second to Germany in terms of internet purchases.
The results of the survey came as independent business organisation ISME predicted that €4.2 billion will be spent here in the run up to Christmas.

ISME has reacted to the anticipated 7% increase by calling on shoppers to buy Irish.
ISME chief executive Mark Fielding has claimed even small changes to consumers' behaviour would have a major effect on Irish firms' fortunes.
'If even one item per customer was switched from imported to Irish-produced goods it would go a long way to sustaining Irish jobs and would provide Irish manufacturers and producers with a huge boost after what has been a very difficult year,' he said.

The Deloitte Christmas Survey, which was designed to measure consumer expectations about Christmas expenses, has been conducted by Deloitte each year since 1998. This year’s survey was conducted on internet and telephone, with a structured questionnaire to a sample of individuals (aged 16 to 65), within controlled panels.
