Over 40% of pessimists about future economic situation: survey

Ratings of Polish households in terms of the current economic situation in Q4 remained at a similar level as in the previous quarter, according to the survey "Situation on the consumer finance market" conducted regularly by the Association of Financial Companies (ZPF) and the Institute of Economic Development SGH (IRG SGH).

Despite this, Poles' expectations about the future economic situation of our country are not optimistic – over 40% of respondents believe that the situation will deteriorate in the next 12 months. Fears of rising unemployment and the effects of increasing inflation are also growing.

During the last quarter not only the percentage of households expressing pessimistic forecasts increased by 1/4, but also the ratio of positive to negative indications is the lowest in several quarters.
