The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the finances of 75 percent of Poles is concerned, according to the Polish edition of the EY Future Consumer Index survey. Within four months, this percentage increased by 18 percentage points.
"The passing months of the pandemic could suggest that Poles have already moved from the initial stage of a surprise to adapting to the requirements of the new reality. The EY Future Consumer Index study shows that this does not apply to a sense of financial security – it is exactly the opposite. The situation should be associated with the lack of precise perspectives concerning the end of the pandemic, and thus constant difficulties in the long-term planning of household budgets. This translates into growing pessimism, which consequently perpetuates changes in consumer behavior," Łukasz Wojciechowski, partner, Audit Department, EY Trade and Consumer Product leader, said.
