The IG Financial Confidence Index tracks and reports on Canadians' overall financial confidence by examining IG’s Four Pillars of Financial Confidence: Current Personal Financial Situation, Personal Financial Outlook, Planning and Literacy and Trust in the Economy.
According to the ninth annual IG Wealth Management Financial Confidence Index Canadians’ financial confidence has held steady, with The Index remaining at 52, matching the 2025 score. However, beneath the national score lie concerns centered around affordability and a resulting divide between Canadians actively building financial security and those facing increasing pressures.
The study also found that more than half of Canadians (57%) say human financial advice is becoming more important in the age of AI and that professional financial advice is important “now more than ever” given the pace of change in the world.
