Over 60 percent of Poles have declared that they will set aside PLN 200-500 for organizing Easter. Almost 6 percent of Poles intend to spend over PLN 1000 on Easter preparations, according to a study carried out for Santander Consumer Bank.
Preparations for Easter are one of the biggest financial challenges for Poles in this period this year owing to the coronavirus pandemic – over 18 percent of respondents indicated this compared to 13 percent a year earlier.
Poles usually spare no money for Easter – it usually costs a Polish household PLN 401-500, stated over 26 percent of respondents. However, 23 percent of the lowest earners, i.e., people with an income not exceeding PLN 999 per month, said they would not do any shopping this year for Easter, the survey found.
“This year, Easter, due to the pandemic, will certainly be completely different than the previous ones. We will have to refrain from organizing large family gatherings,” a Santander CB representative was quoted as saying.
