Rising inflation and the international conflict topped the list of risks among Polish individual investors. This is due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which caused severe shocks to the global financial markets.
According to the latest study "Individual Investor Pulse", conducted by the eToro social investment platform, rising inflation is the biggest risk for 59 percent of respondents. Polish investors. In the last quarter, 66 percent pointed to inflation as the greatest threat to investments. respondents, which is surprising in the light of constantly rising inflation in Poland.
"Poles' concerns about inflation are not surprising, since in March its level was as high as 10.9 percent. Not only that, there are potentially further increases ahead of us. This is the second study in which – of all the nations surveyed – it is Poles who fear inflation the most. Interestingly, the Czechs, whose inflation is even higher than in Poland, fear it less.
It is also worth noting that the study was carried out in March, when the inflation reading for February indicated a decline to 8.5 percent. So you can see that concerns about inflation are deeply rooted in the DNA of the Polish investor," Paweł Majtkowski, eToro market analyst, commented.
