Read about how consumer confidence is on the rise for the month of June. The report provides perspective of the change of spending from April 2021 to June 2021.

In July, the Utah economy continued to boom, extending a trend of growth in current and expected revenues since April 2021. Although current and expected business growth remains high, there are no signs of an overheating economy. Importantly, businesses expect steady growth to continue, while inflation pressures remain low.

August 2021 showed a significant slowdown in the ongoing economic boom in Utah, compared to July 2021. This decrease is likely due to increased uncertainty around the Delta variant of COVID-19 and related uncertainty in consumer demand.

After a period of exceptionally high growth in spring and summer 2021, growth expectations show signs of a slowdown in August 2021.
