Poland with world’s highest level of anxiety related to pandemic
22:06
The level of fear of Poles caused by the coronavirus pandemic has increased by 30 percentage points over the last month. The reading of the Anxiety Index created by the international consulting company Deloitte is currently 34 percent in Poland and is the highest in the world. The latest edition of the Deloitte Global State of the Consumer Tracker survey by the consulting company also shows that the general level of anxiety has translated into almost all the habits and behavior of consumers in Poland.
As much as 46 percent of us declare that they are buying in stock. This is the highest result for Poland in the history of the survey and again the highest in Europe.
Deloitte's Anxiety Index is the net difference between people who agreed that "I'm more concerned than a week ago" and those who denied it. In the latest wave of the company's survey, this index in Poland increased by 30 percentage points during the month.
Most people who agree with the statement that they are more concerned than a week ago are among those aged over 55 (64 percent). However, this sentiment has also been echoed by an almost as high percentage of young people between 18-34 (61 percent). The level of concern also varies depending on how much you earn. Most people who declare an increase in anxiety are among high-income consumers (66 percent). Among people with average and low earnings, an increase in anxiety is declared by 63 percent of respondents.
In terms of the level of concern, Poland has overtaken India (31 percent), which so far has shown the highest level of concern in virtually every wave of the survey. Italy is in third place (24 percent). The countries whose citizens are least feared are China and Japan (minus 19 percent each).
