Movement in commerce in the Center of Manaus. Amazon Network Household Consumption Intention (ICF) in Amazonas rose 0.6% in August and reached 128.9 points, according to the National Confederation of Commerce in Goods, Services and Tourism (CNC). The index remains above 100 points, a level considered satisfaction, and registers the second consecutive month of increase. In comparison with August 2025, growth was 9.2%, with all components in positive territory. The advance was driven by Access to Credit (+6.6%) and the Consumer Outlook (+4.6%). Current Income fell by 1.4% and the Time to Purchase Durables fell by 2.8%, showing greater caution among families with their income and the purchase of higher-value goods. The Consumption Outlook also improved: it grew 0.8% compared to August 2025, reversing the 3.5% drop recorded in July. The result shows greater confidence among families in Amazonas for the coming months, different from the national scenario, where there was a 0.2% decline in August after four consecutive increases. ? Join the g1 AM channel on WhatsApp Job market The job market helped to sustain confidence. Current Employment rose 1.2% in August and has accumulated an increase of 11.8% in one year. Data from the General Register of Employed and Unemployed Persons (Caged) indicate that Amazonas registered 12,377 new hires in the first half of the year, growth of 2.2%. In Brazil, the increase was 2.0%.

Even with advances, there is caution about the professional future. The Professional Outlook fell 0.9% in August, the second consecutive drop. Even so, in the annual comparison, the indicator grew 11.4%, showing that the perception remains better than a year ago. Current Income is also a concern. After rising 0.5% in July, it fell 1.4% in August. In the annual comparison, it remains positive, with an increase of 5%, but at a slower pace than in July (+6.9%). The Moment for Purchasing Durables had the biggest drop, of 2.8%, and has accumulated three months of decline. Even so, it is 21.3% above the August 2025 level, indicating that, despite recent caution, conditions for this type of purchase remain more favorable than a year ago. Credit Among families earning up to ten minimum wages, the ICF grew 9.2% in one year. Among those earning more than ten minimum wages, the increase was 9.6%. Despite being close, the variations had different compositions. The highest-income families saw an increase of 14.5% in the Professional Perspective and 22.2% in the Consumer Perspective. Among those with lower income, the highlight was the Durable Purchase Time, with an increase of 25%, showing the weight of credit for this group. In the monthly variation, both groups registered improvement. Among those with higher incomes, the increase was 0.9% after two months of decline. Those with lower incomes grew by 0.5%, the second increase in a row. In lower-income families, the highlights were Access to Credit (+7%) and Consumption Perspective (+2.8%). On the other hand, Current Income fell 1.5% and Timing to Purchase Durables fell 3.3%. Among lower-income families, credit remains the main factor supporting consumption intentions. Those with higher income are less dependent on this variable. The difference appears in the purchase of durable goods: it fell 3.3% among the poorest, but increased 1.2% among the richest.
